[0056] In the transportation sector, "carbon pollution synergy" technology aims to reduce gaseous pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter) in exhaust gases and capture carbon dioxide (CO2) through an integrated approach, thereby achieving the dual goals of pollution reduction and carbon reduction. Given the significant role of transportation in pollutant and CO2 emissions, developing vehicle-mounted carbon pollution synergy treatment technologies is highly necessary. However, existing adsorption materials are mostly limited to single functions (such as only adsorbing pollutants or only capturing carbon dioxide), making it difficult to meet the synergistic treatment requirements under dynamic operating conditions of mobile sources. Therefore, developing dual-functional materials that can simultaneously treat gaseous pollutants and capture carbon dioxide for automotive exhaust treatment systems to achieve synergistic carbon pollution treatment of automotive exhaust presents a significant technical challenge.
[0057] In view of this, this application develops a bifunctional material by coupling a high-performance catalyst and a carbon dioxide adsorbent. Utilizing the synergistic effect of the catalyst and carbon dioxide, it simultaneously achieves the catalytic degradation of gaseous pollutants in automobile exhaust and the in-situ adsorption and capture of carbon dioxide. This allows for synergistic carbon pollution control within a single reactor, eliminating the need for multiple modules connected in series and simplifying the capture process. The following provides a more detailed description of this application and its optional embodiments.
[0058] Dual-function materials:
[0059] In some embodiments, the present invention provides a bifunctional material comprising a catalyst and a carbon dioxide adsorbent;
[0060] The catalyst comprises an active component and a support; the active component is distributed on the surface and / or interior of the support; the active component comprises a noble metal;
[0061] The carrier includes metal oxides;
[0062] The specific surface area of the carrier is 10m². 2 / g~500m 2 / g. As an example, the specific surface area of the carrier can be 10m². 2 / g, 50m 2 / g, 100m 2 / g、200m 2 / g、300m 2 / g、400m 2 / g and 500m 2 Any point value in / g or any range of values between the two.
[0063] The bifunctional material of this invention comprises a catalyst and an adsorbent with a noble metal as the active component. The catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent are mechanically alloyed through a ball milling process, resulting in a randomly mixed distribution. The catalyst with the noble metal as the active component can efficiently decompose gaseous pollutants in automobile exhaust, generating carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water. The carbon dioxide adsorbent can adsorb carbon dioxide in situ from automobile exhaust, and simultaneously adsorb carbon dioxide generated from the decomposition of gaseous pollutants, achieving synergistic treatment of gaseous pollutants and carbon dioxide in automobile exhaust, thereby achieving near-zero emissions of gaseous pollutants and carbon dioxide during vehicle operation. Furthermore, the catalyst uses a metal oxide as a catalyst carrier, which has a high Taman temperature and excellent anti-sintering ability. In the bifunctional material, the catalyst acts as a rigid framework, preventing the sintering of the carbon dioxide adsorbent material and the decrease in adsorption capacity. In other words, the catalyst in the provided bifunctional material has a high Taman temperature and excellent anti-sintering ability; as a rigid framework material, it can improve the anti-sintering ability of the carbon dioxide adsorbent, avoiding the problem of reduced carbon dioxide adsorption capacity caused by subsequent sintering. Therefore, once the carbon dioxide adsorption in the bifunctional material is saturated, the bifunctional material can be calcined to achieve the desorption and regeneration of the saturated carbon dioxide adsorbent.
[0064] In this application, by adjusting the specific surface area of the carrier within the above-mentioned range, it is beneficial to improve the Taman temperature and anti-sintering ability of the carrier, thereby increasing the carbon dioxide capacity after the bifunctional material is regenerated.
[0065] A schematic diagram illustrating the working principle of the dual-functional material of this invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, gaseous pollutants in automobile exhaust, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs), and nitric oxide (NO), are catalytically degraded into carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water (H2O) by a catalyst composed of a noble metal 1-1 and a support 1-2 in the catalyst. The carbon dioxide in the automobile exhaust and the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the decomposition of gaseous pollutants are sealed and fixed in the carbon dioxide adsorbent 1-3, thereby achieving near-zero emissions of gaseous pollutants and carbon dioxide during automobile operation.
[0066] In this invention, the active component in the catalyst is distributed on the surface and / or inside the support. That is, the active component in the catalyst can be distributed on the surface of the support, distributed inside the support, or distributed on both the surface and inside the support.
[0067] Therefore, the bifunctional material provided by this invention, under the synergistic effect of a catalyst with precious metal as active component and metal oxide as support and a carbon dioxide adsorbent, achieves catalytic degradation of gaseous pollutants in automobile exhaust and in-situ adsorption and capture of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the bifunctional material also has excellent cycle performance, which can extend the service life of the bifunctional catalyst.
[0068] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the catalyst to the carbon dioxide adsorbent is 1:100 to 10:1. As an example, the mass ratio of the catalyst to the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be any one of 1:100, 1:50, 1:20, 1:10, 1:5, 1:2, 1:1, 2:2, 5:1, and 10:1, or any range between the two.
[0069] In this invention, by controlling the mass ratio of catalyst to carbon dioxide adsorption within the aforementioned range, the efficiency of the catalyst in degrading gaseous pollutants can be maximized, as can the adsorption capacity of the carbon dioxide adsorbent. Furthermore, the excellent regeneration and recycling performance of the bifunctional material can be ensured. If the catalyst content in the bifunctional material is too high, the material's adsorption capacity for carbon dioxide will be insufficient, and carbon dioxide cannot be completely captured. If the carbon dioxide adsorbent content in the bifunctional material is too high, the degradation efficiency of gaseous pollutants will decrease, and the pollutants cannot be completely decomposed. Simultaneously, an excessive carbon dioxide adsorbent content will weaken the catalyst's skeletal support, and the adsorption capacity of the carbon dioxide adsorbent will decrease after high-temperature sintering.
[0070] In some embodiments, the mass content of the precious metal is 0.01% to 20% based on the mass of the catalyst. As an example, the mass content of the precious metal can be any one of 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, or a range between any two, based on the mass of the catalyst.
[0071] In this invention, by controlling the mass content of precious metals in the catalyst within the above-mentioned range, it can be ensured that the precious metals in the catalyst have a high degree of dispersion and sufficient active sites, which can efficiently catalyze the degradation of gaseous pollutants.
[0072] In some embodiments, the precious metal includes, but is not limited to, at least one of Pt, Pd, and Rh; preferably, the precious metal includes all three: Pt, Pd, and Rh.
[0073] In this invention, the noble metal in the catalyst can be loaded onto the support in one or more mixed forms of nanoparticles, atomic clusters, and single atoms.
[0074] In this invention, based on the size of the noble metal active sites in the catalyst, they can be categorized into nanoparticles (particle size 1~100 nm), atomic clusters (size 0.1~1 nm), and single atoms (less than 0.1 nm). Nanoparticles and atomic clusters can be composed of a single type of atom, or two or more types of atoms. A single-atom active site refers to an active site containing only a single atom, but different active sites can be different types of single atoms, and therefore can also be mixtures of different noble metal elements. The same catalyst can simultaneously contain active sites of different forms, such as nanoparticles, atomic clusters, and single atoms.
[0075] In some embodiments, the diameter of the noble metal is 0.1 nm to 10 nm. As an example, the diameter of the noble metal can be any one of 0.1 nm, 0.5 nm, 1 nm, 2 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, 6 nm, 8 nm, and 10 nm, or a range between any two.
[0076] In this invention, by controlling the diameter of the noble metal within the above-mentioned range, the active site density and particle stability of the catalyst can be balanced, thereby giving the catalyst higher catalytic efficiency and anti-sintering ability.
[0077] In some embodiments, the metal oxide includes at least one of Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, CeO2, and La2O3.
[0078] In this application, the aforementioned metal oxide is used as the catalyst support, which has a high Taman temperature and excellent anti-sintering ability. In the bifunctional material, the catalyst can act as a hard skeleton to prevent the carbon dioxide adsorbent material from sintering and the adsorption capacity from decreasing.
[0079] In some embodiments, the diameter of the carrier is 10 nm to 100 μm. As an example, the diameter of the carrier can be any one of 10 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, 500 nm, 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm and 100 μm or a range between any two.
[0080] In some embodiments, the carbon dioxide adsorbent includes, but is not limited to, at least one of CaO, Ca(OH)2, MgO, Mg(OH)2, and hydrotalcite-derived metal oxides.
[0081] In some embodiments, the hydrotalcite-derived metal oxide includes calcium-aluminum hydrotalcite-derived metal oxides.
[0082] In some embodiments, the diameter of the carbon dioxide adsorbent is 10 μm to 1000 μm. As an example, the diameter of the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be any one of 10 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, 200 μm, 500 μm, 700 μm and 100 μm or a range between any two.
[0083] Therefore, the bifunctional material provided by this invention, under the synergistic effect of a catalyst with precious metals as active components and metal oxides as carriers and a carbon dioxide adsorbent, achieves catalytic degradation of gaseous pollutants in automobile exhaust and in-situ adsorption and capture of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the bifunctional material also has excellent cycle performance, which can extend the service life of the bifunctional catalyst.
[0084] Preparation methods of bifunctional materials:
[0085] In some embodiments, a second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a bifunctional material, comprising the following steps:
[0086] A solution of a noble metal precursor is selected and loaded onto a support by an impregnation method to obtain the first intermediate.
[0087] The carbon dioxide adsorbent precursor and the first intermediate are mixed and dispersed to obtain the second intermediate;
[0088] The second intermediate was calcined to obtain a bifunctional material.
[0089] The method for preparing bifunctional materials provided by this invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a first intermediate is obtained by loading noble metals onto a carrier through an impregnation method. This first intermediate is then mechanically alloyed with a precursor of a carbon dioxide adsorbent through a solid-state grinding process. Finally, calcination successfully couples the catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent, yielding a bifunctional material. This bifunctional material can efficiently decompose gaseous pollutants in automobile exhaust and also adsorb carbon dioxide and degraded carbon dioxide in situ from automobile exhaust, achieving synergistic treatment of gaseous pollutants and carbon dioxide in automobile exhaust, thereby achieving near-zero emissions of gaseous pollutants and carbon dioxide during vehicle operation. Furthermore, the preparation process does not involve complex chemical processes such as sol-gel and co-precipitation, making the production process simple and easily scalable for industrial production.
[0090] It should be understood that all the features and advantages described above for "bifunctional materials" also apply to the "preparation method of bifunctional materials", and will not be repeated here.
[0091] In some embodiments, the specific process of the impregnation method is as follows:
[0092] The carrier was immersed in a solution of a noble metal precursor. After immersion, the resulting product was dried and calcined to obtain the first intermediate.
[0093] In some embodiments, the noble metal precursor in the solution includes, but is not limited to, a noble metal salt; the noble metal salt includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a noble metal chloride, a noble metal sulfate, and a noble metal carbonate.

[0095] In some embodiments, the immersion time is 2h to 24h. As an example, the immersion time can be any one of 2h, 5h, 10h, 12h, 15h, 20h, and 24h, or a range between any two.
[0096] In some embodiments, the drying temperature is 60°C to 120°C. As an example, the drying temperature can be any one of 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, 100°C, 110°C, and 120°C, or a range between any two.
[0097] In some embodiments, the calcination temperature is 300℃~600℃, and the calcination time is 4h~8h. As an example, the calcination temperature can be any one of 300℃, 350℃, 400℃, 450℃, 500℃, 550℃, and 600℃, or a range between any two; the calcination time can be any one of 4h, 4.5h, 5h, 5.5h, 6h, 6.5h, 7h, 7.5h, and 8h, or a range between any two.
[0098] In this invention, the above-mentioned impregnation involves uniformly loading noble metals onto a support. By controlling the drying and calcination conditions within the above-mentioned range, sufficient active sites and high noble metal dispersion can be formed on the support, thereby improving the catalytic activity, stability, dispersion, and anti-sintering ability of the catalyst.
[0099] As an example, the preparation of the first intermediate includes:
[0100] The carrier is immersed in a solution of a noble metal precursor, such as a solution of a noble metal salt, for 2 h to 24 h. After immersion, the obtained product is dried at 60 °C to 120 °C and then calcined at 300 °C to 600 °C for 4 h to 8 h to obtain the first intermediate.
[0101] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the carbon dioxide adsorbent precursor to the first intermediate is 1:5 to 200:1. As an example, the mass ratio of the carbon dioxide precursor to the intermediate can be any one of 1:5, 1:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, 100:1, 150:1, and 200:1, or a range between any two.
[0102] In this invention, by controlling the mass ratio of the carbon dioxide adsorbent precursor and the first intermediate within the above-mentioned range, it can be ensured that the catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent in the final bifunctional material are in a suitable ratio, which can maximize the efficiency of the catalyst in degrading gaseous pollutants, maximize the adsorption capacity of the carbon dioxide adsorbent, and ensure that the bifunctional material has excellent regeneration and recycling performance.
[0103] In some embodiments, the carbon dioxide adsorbent precursor includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a calcium-containing compound, a magnesium-containing compound, and an aluminum-containing compound.
[0104] In some embodiments, the calcium-containing compound includes, but is not limited to, at least one of calcium carbonate, calcium nitrate, calcium acetate, calcium citrate, and calcium hydroxide.

[0106] In any embodiment, the aluminum-containing compound includes, but is not limited to, at least one of aluminum carbonate, aluminum nitrate, aluminum acetate, chlorine citrate, and aluminum hydroxide.
[0107] In some embodiments, the dispersion process includes ball milling.
[0108] In this invention, a solid-state grinding process based on mechanical alloying is employed to provide a prerequisite for the subsequent preparation of bifunctional materials with uniform structure, thereby improving the sintering resistance of the materials.
[0109] In some embodiments, the ball milling conditions are as follows: the grinding ball diameter is 5mm to 10cm, the ball-to-material ratio is 10:1 to 1:1, the rotation speed is 50rpm to 500rpm, and the time is 30min to 300min. As an example, the grinding ball diameter can be any one of 5mm, 1cm, 2cm, 5cm, 6cm, 8cm, and 10cm, or a range between any two; the ball-to-material ratio can be any one of 10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 5:1, 4:1, 2:1, and 1:1, or a range between any two; the rotation speed can be any one of 50rpm, 100rpm, 200rpm, 300rpm, 400rpm, and 500rpm, or a range between any two; and the time can be any one of 30min, 50min, 100min, 150min, 200min, 250min, and 300min, or a range between any two.
[0110] In some embodiments, after the dispersion process is completed, the method further includes: sieving the product obtained after the dispersion process.
[0111] As an example, the preparation of the second intermediate includes:
[0112] The carbon dioxide adsorbent precursor and the first intermediate were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:5 to 200:1, and ball-milled for 30 to 300 minutes at a ball-to-material ratio of 10:1 to 1:1 and a rotation speed of 50 to 500 rpm using grinding balls with a diameter of 5 mm to 10 cm. The resulting product was then sieved to obtain the second intermediate.
[0113] In some embodiments, the calcination temperature is 500℃~800℃, and the calcination time is 2h~24h. As an example, the calcination temperature can be any one of 500℃, 550℃, 600℃, 650℃, 700℃, 750℃, and 800℃, or a range between any two; the calcination time can be any one of 2h, 5h, 10h, 12h, 20h, and 24h, or a range between any two.

[0115] As an example, the preparation of bifunctional materials includes:
[0116] The second intermediate was placed in a muffle furnace and calcined in an air atmosphere at a temperature of 500℃ to 800℃ for 2 hours to 24 hours. After calcination, the material was cooled in the furnace to obtain the bifunctional material.
[0117] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for treating automobile exhaust, comprising the following steps:
[0118] The exhaust gas from automobiles can be treated by passing it into a reactor containing dual-function materials for reaction.
[0119] In this invention, the provided bifunctional material can reach temperatures above 150°C when heated by automobile exhaust. The catalyst, with precious metals as the active component, is activated, catalytically degrading gaseous pollutants such as CO, HCs, and NOx in the automobile exhaust. The reaction includes CO + O2. - →CO2, HCs + O2 - →CO2 + H2O, NOx + CO - →CO2+N2, etc.; CO2 produced by the decomposition of gaseous pollutants and CO2 originally contained in exhaust gas react with adsorbent materials and are captured, thereby achieving synergistic treatment of gaseous pollutants and CO2, and achieving near-zero emissions of gaseous pollutants and carbon dioxide during vehicle operation.
[0120] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature is 150~200°C, and the reaction time is 20~40 min. As an example, the reaction temperature can be any one of 150°C, 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, 190°C, and 200°C, or a range between any two, and the reaction time can be any one of 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 35 min, and 40 min, or a range between any two.
[0121] In this invention, the purpose of the reactor is to immobilize the bifunctional material and prevent its loss due to airflow impact or vibration. Conventional reactors in the art, such as fixed-bed reactors, can be selected. This invention does not limit the specific type of reactor.

During the high-temperature calcination process, the high specific surface area metal oxide support has a high Taman temperature, which can act as a hard skeleton to prevent the sintering of the carbon dioxide adsorbent material and the decrease in adsorption capacity.

[0172]
[0173] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the bifunctional material prepared in the examples can simultaneously achieve catalytic degradation of gaseous pollutants in automobile exhaust and in-situ adsorption and capture of carbon dioxide, achieving synergistic carbon pollution control within a single reactor with low system complexity. Furthermore, the bifunctional material prepared in the examples exhibits a carbon dioxide adsorption capacity decay rate of ≤15% after 20 regenerations, demonstrating excellent anti-sintering ability. It is also prepared using a mechanical ball milling alloying process, resulting in low preparation cost. In Comparative Example 1, the material was not mechanically ball-milled and alloyed, resulting in a loose structure and easy sintering. Comparative Example 2 used a single carbon dioxide adsorbent without catalytic components, failing to degrade automobile exhaust. The carbon dioxide adsorbent also lacked anti-sintering components, leading to a loose structure and easy sintering. Comparative Example 3 used a sol-gel method to prepare the bifunctional material, resulting in an uneven structure and poor anti-sintering ability.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
