Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization of CO2, specifically relating to a catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of CO2 to CO and its preparation method, as well as its application in the field of selective photothermal catalytic reduction of CO2 to CO. Technical Background

[0002] The continued burning of large quantities of fossil fuels has led to a surge in the production of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (C60). Emissions have risen sharply. Excessive carbon dioxide (C₂) Emissions have become a trigger for a series of severe environmental problems. The trend of global warming is becoming increasingly evident, posing a serious threat to human survival and sustainable development. Under the urgent need for global energy transition and carbon emission reduction, the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) is becoming increasingly critical. Transforming C into high-value-added chemicals or energy carriers has become a research hotspot. As a carbon source, C can utilize the energy provided by renewable energy sources. It is converted into carbon-based chemicals.

[0003] Among them, C Selective reduction of carbon monoxide (CO) to form carbon monoxide (reverse water-gas shift reaction) has significant strategic value. As a core component of syngas, CO is a fundamental feedstock in chemical processes such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and methanol production, with downstream products spanning fuels, plastics, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Furthermore, a carbon cycle system using CO as a feedstock can effectively connect renewable energy with traditional chemical industries, driving the industrial system towards a low-carbon transformation. Therefore, developing efficient CO production... CO2 reduction technology is not only about efficient resource utilization, but also a key step in achieving carbon neutrality.

[0004] Currently, C The main pathways for CO reduction include electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis, photocatalysis, and biocatalysis. Electrocatalytic reduction offers mild reaction conditions and precise product selectivity control through potential regulation, but suffers from high energy consumption and poor catalyst stability. Thermocatalysis is a mature technology with fast reaction rates, but it relies on high temperature and pressure conditions and is prone to side reactions. Biocatalysis is environmentally friendly, but its slow reaction rate makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. Due to the limitations of these traditional technologies in terms of efficiency, energy consumption, and selectivity, there is a need to continuously explore more efficient and sustainable new catalytic systems.

[0005] Photothermal catalytic reduction of C The technology of generating CO provides an innovative solution to the above-mentioned problems by integrating the advantages of photocatalysis and thermal catalysis. This technology uses solar energy as the driving energy, not only effectively reducing the dependence on fossil fuels, but also breaking through the thermodynamic limit through the synergistic effect of light and heat to achieve the efficient activation and conversion of C under mild conditions. On the one hand, the carriers generated by light excitation can accelerate the adsorption and dissociation of C molecules, increasing the reaction activity; on the other hand, the introduction of thermal energy promotes the conversion of intermediate products, significantly improving the selectivity of CO. In addition, the photo-thermal catalyst can be designed and controlled in structure to achieve efficient absorption of the full spectrum of sunlight, further enhancing the catalytic performance. Compared with other reduction paths, the photo-thermal catalysis technology has the advantages of green environmental protection, high energy utilization efficiency, adjustable product selectivity, etc., showing great potential for industrial application from the laboratory, and is expected to become one of the core technologies for the resource utilization of C in the future.

[0006] However, it cannot be ignored that the current photo-thermal catalytic reduction of C technology still faces many challenges in practical application. Most photo-thermal catalysts have obvious deficiencies in the absorption of full-spectrum solar energy, resulting in low photo-thermal conversion efficiency, which makes it difficult to achieve ideal catalytic activity and selectivity. For example, TiO2, which is the most widely used in photocatalysis, can only absorb ultraviolet light, limiting the conversion rate of CO2. While SrTiO3, obtained by modification, has good hydrogenation performance, but the selectivity is reduced, and part of CH4 is easily generated. At the same time, the active sites of the catalyst are not fully exposed, and the carrier mobility and conductivity are not good enough, which seriously restricts the improvement of reaction rate and product selectivity. In addition, the current researchers' understanding of the photo-thermal catalytic reaction mechanism is not comprehensive enough, and there is a lack of systematic and perfect theoretical guidance, which undoubtedly sets an obstacle for the design and development of high-performance photo-thermal catalysts.

[0007] Therefore, the present application is based on the design features of photo-thermal catalysts, and aims to provide a catalyst with high conversion rate and high selectivity to significantly improve the possibility of CO2 conversion to CO. SUMMARY
