Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of CO2 hydrogenation catalyst preparation technology, specifically relating to a zeolite-coated NiIn hydrogenation catalyst with water conduction channels, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The direct conversion of H2 and CO2 produced from clean energy into high-value-added chemicals (such as methanol, methane, and low-carbon olefins) is an important way to utilize the greenhouse gas CO2 as a resource, and it can also play a role in reducing CO2 emissions, which is of great strategic significance.

[0003] Because CO2 is a relatively inert molecule thermodynamically, achieving its activation and efficient conversion presents significant difficulties and challenges. Furthermore, the hydrogenation reaction of CO2 is often accompanied by the generation of water as a byproduct. The competitive adsorption of water on the catalyst surface against CO2 and H2 adsorption sites, as well as the oxidation, corrosion, and structural alterations caused by water on the catalyst surface, all significantly impact the catalyst's activity and stability.

[0040] Beneficial effects

[0041] This invention proposes a zeolite-coated NiIn hydrogenation catalyst with water conduction channels, its preparation method, and its application. By alternately coating the core of the zeolite-coated NiIn hydrogenation catalyst with hydrophilic and hydrophobic shells, a water conduction channel with a hydrophobic-hydrophilic-hydrophobic structure is constructed on the catalyst surface. The in-situ removal of water through these channels breaks the thermodynamic limitations of the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, improves the stability of the CO2 hydrogenation catalyst, promotes efficient CO2 conversion, and increases the yield of the target product, providing a solution for the development of efficient CO2 resource utilization. According to Le Chatelier's principle, removing the product breaks the thermodynamic limitations of the reaction, causing the reaction to shift in the direction of increased product yield. By constructing hydrophobic channels on the catalyst surface to remove the water generated in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, not only is the catalyst's performance stabilized, but the selectivity and yield of the target product are also increased.
