TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of CO2 capture and conversion utilization materials, and particularly relates to a NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the industrial revolution, human activities have led to a continuous increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, among which the greenhouse effect caused by CO2 and CH4 is particularly significant. Among various CO2 emission reduction technologies, the integrated CO2 capture-methane dry reforming technology (ICCC-DRM) simultaneously converts two greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4, into syngas (CO+H2). This technology reduces operating costs and energy consumption through system integration, while achieving the resource utilization of greenhouse gases. The obtained syngas is the basic raw material for important chemical processes such as ammonia synthesis, methanol synthesis, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and the market demand is continuously growing. Therefore, the ICCC-DRM technology not only helps to reduce carbon emissions, but also provides raw material support for the synthesis of downstream high-value-added products.
[0003] In the ICCC-DRM system, H2 is commonly used to reduce and activate Ni-CaO-based bifunctional materials (DFMs), but the reduction process of H2 is intense, which easily leads to significant sintering of Ni particles during the reduction stage, thereby affecting the dispersion and stability of active sites and reducing the overall performance of the material. Han et al. (Han R, Xing S, Wang Y, et al. Two birds with one stone: MgO promoted Ni-CaO as stable and coke-resistant bifunctional materials for integrated CO2 capture and conversion[J]. Separation and Purification Technology, 2023, 307, 122808.) prepared Ni-CaO / MgO DFMs by a sol-gel method and obtained them by reduction with H2. However, the reduction process of H2 is intense, which easily leads to significant sintering of Ni particles during the reduction stage, thereby affecting the dispersion and stability of active sites and reducing the overall performance of the material. 10Mg, the average time and space yield of CO and H2 in the 10th cycle reached 1.01 and 0.94 mmol / (g·min), respectively. Hu et al. (Hu J, Hongmanorom P, Chirawatkul P, et al. Efficient Integration of CO2 Capture and Conversion over a Ni Supported CeO2-modified CaO Microsphere at Moderate Temperature[J]. Chemical Engineering Journal, 2021, 426, 130864.) prepared Ni / Ca 85 Ce 15 The average time and space yield of CO and H2 in the 9th cycle reached 0.98 and 0.71 mmol / (g·min), respectively. Existing studies have focused on the performance degradation caused by carbon deposition and high-temperature sintering during the reaction process, but have paid insufficient attention to the metal sintering that has already occurred during the reduction stage and its impact on the subsequent cycle stability. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a milder and controllable reduction method to effectively inhibit Ni particle sintering at the initial stage of material activation, in order to improve the long-term cycle stability and overall process efficiency of DFMs. SUMMARY

[0010] The application also provides the use of the above-mentioned NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional material for CO2 capture-conversion, which can be applied to the capture and conversion of flue gas CO2 in large-scale industrial processes.
[0011] The application also provides a reduction method for the above-mentioned NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional material in CO2 capture-conversion, the NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional material is loaded into a fixed bed reactor, N2 is introduced to displace and remove CO2, O2 and water vapor in the system, reduction gas CO is introduced until its concentration remains stable, and the temperature is raised to the reduction temperature for reduction.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages: 1. The NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional material of this invention uses CaO / MgO as a support to load bimetallic NiPt active sites. Its porous structure facilitates rapid CO2 adsorption and prevents CaO agglomeration. Furthermore, the doping of metal and metal oxides into the CaO particles effectively segments the CaO, preventing high-temperature sintering and maintaining stable cyclic CO2 adsorption performance. The incorporation of trace amounts of Pt improves the interaction between Ni and the support, and the NiPt alloy formed with Ni reduces the size of the active sites and improves the dispersion, solving the problem of rapid deactivation due to carbon deposition and sintering in Ni-based catalysts.
[0016] 2. This invention uses a solution-gel method to synthesize bifunctional materials in one step. The preparation process is simple, the raw material cost is low, and it is suitable for large-scale preparation.
[0017] 3. In the reduction method for CO2 capture-conversion of NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional materials of this invention, CO is used as a reducing agent, which can effectively inhibit the sintering of Ni particles in the early stage of activation. Simultaneously, in-situ reduction occurs during the reaction, resulting in a gentler reduction process. This method first gently reduces the Ni active sites on the material surface through CO. In the subsequent conversion stage, the surface reconstruction that occurs during the carbonization of CaO to CaCO3 gradually migrates the unreduced NiO from the interior to the surface, achieving in-situ reduction. This in-situ reduction process is under mild conditions, further inhibiting the agglomeration of Ni particles, thereby improving the dispersibility and stability of the active sites. Using this method, the space-time yield gradually increases with the number of cycles, effectively solving the problem of severe sintering caused by H2 reduction, improving the conversion performance and cycle stability of DFMs, and enhancing the overall process efficiency and economy. This technology possesses high-efficiency carbon emission reduction capabilities while producing high-value-added products. Furthermore, by utilizing high-temperature flue gas carbon capture and in-situ conversion, it achieves efficient energy utilization, making it suitable for large-scale industrial applications and possessing significant economic and social benefits.

The NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional material of Example 3 has both macroporous and mesoporous structures, and has better conversion and trapping effects.
[0041] Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of the bifunctional materials after reduction in Example 5 and Comparative Example 1 of this invention are shown below. Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown in the figure, CO reduction yields Ni particles with an average particle size of 4.3 ± 0.3 nm, while H2 reduction yields Ni particles with an average particle size of 10.1 ± 0.3 nm. Smaller active sites have higher activity, and CO reduction can give DFMs better conversion performance.

Figures 6-9 It can be seen that the ICCC-DRM process can still proceed smoothly before the cycle without pre-reduction. This is because during the conversion stage, the introduced CH4 can reduce NiO in situ, and the DRM reaction and NiO reduction occur simultaneously. Due to the presence of in-situ reduction, the performance fluctuations in the first 5 cycles are small. The average space-time yields of H2 and CO can remain stable after the second cycle. By the 20th cycle, the CH4 conversion rate is 66.67%, the CO2 conversion rate is 77.43%, the average space-time yield of H2 is 1.17 mmol / (g·min), and the average space-time yield of CO is 1.34 mmol / (g·min).
[0057] Table 2 Performance Comparison of Different DFMs
[0058] Analysis of the impact of reducing gas on the performance of DFMs: As shown in Table 2, Example 5 of this invention achieved average space-time yields of 1.71 mmol / (g·min) for CO and 1.56 mmol / (g·min) for H2 over 20 cycles, demonstrating superior conversion performance and stability compared to the aforementioned results. Compared to H2 reduction (Comparative Example 1) and non-reduced N2 purging (Comparative Example 2), CO reduction at 750°C (Example 5) continuously activated the material in the first 5 cycles, resulting in higher average space-time yields of H2 and CO, as well as CH4 conversion. In the subsequent 15 cycles, all performance indicators remained stable and were significantly superior to H2 reduction and non-reduced N2 purging. This higher conversion performance is attributed to the characteristic of CO reduction being a mild, self-limiting surface reduction. CO only reduces the surface NiO, preventing further reduction of the internal NiO, which reduces the size of Ni particles and improves the dispersion of active sites (e.g., ...). Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown in the figure, during the capture process, the volume change of Ca species can release NiO from the inside to the surface. During the conversion process, the NiO that has migrated to the surface can be reduced in situ, thereby realizing the gradual activation of conversion performance. Analysis of the effect of reduction temperature on the performance of DFMs: The performance test results from Examples 1-6 show that the reduction temperature affects both the reduction degree of NiO and the sintering degree of Ni particles. Reduction at 750℃ balances these two effects, achieving higher conversion performance and stability. Below 750℃, the reduction degree of NiO weakens; above 750℃, the sintering degree of Ni particles increases, affecting the reduction of NiO.
[0059] The CO-reduced NiPt-CaO / MgO bifunctional material proposed in this invention has the characteristics of small Ni particle size, high conversion activity, and simple process. Although there is an activation period in the early stage of the cycle, this stage coincides with the start-up stage of actual industrial operation and does not affect its excellent long-term operating stability. Therefore, it has significant prospects for industrial application.
