Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of efficient utilization of carbon dioxide, and in particular relates to a method and system for preparing nano-carbon materials from carbon dioxide. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are only a few ways to recycle carbon dioxide, such as amination, catalytic hydrogenation, esterification, etc., and some products obtained by amination and esterification have poor molecular structure stability, short product life cycle, easy degradation and re-release of carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is still urgent to explore the technical approach to high-value utilization of carbon dioxide. Nanocarbon materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have mild chemical stability, diverse electrical conductivity and special thermal conductivity, which have set off a revolution in the field of materials science and technology. Carbon nanotubes have unique conductive properties, as well as metallic and semiconductor properties. They can form a honeycomb conductive network inside the coating, giving the coating excellent electronic shielding properties. Graphene has a unique lamellar structure, which can improve the anti-corrosion effect of the coating by extending the corrosion path, so that the coating has better shielding properties. Recent studies have shown that adding a relatively small amount of nanocarbon materials to the polymer matrix can significantly improve the mechanical strength, thermal stability and anti-corrosion properties of the polymer matrix. Nanocarbon materials have become one of the popular coating fillers at present, so the research on the preparation and application technology of nanocarbon materials is of great significance.

[0003] At present, there are three most commonly used methods for preparing nanocarbon materials, namely arc discharge method, laser evaporation method and catalytic cracking method. Arc discharge method and laser evaporation method both use graphite as raw material, which is expensive, has poor controllability over the microstructure of nanocarbon materials, and has insufficient product output and quality; catalytic cracking method uses carbon-containing gases such as methane as raw materials, and the reaction process is easy to control, but the obtained nanocarbon materials have many defects. During the preparation process, the catalyst particles are coated in the nanocarbon material, which makes it difficult to remove. CO2 is a renewable carbon resource with abundant reserves, safety, and pollution-free. Using chemical vapor deposition to convert it into high-value-added nanocarbon materials and realize the recycling of carbon resources is one of the main directions for addressing the greenhouse effect.
