The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of catalysts, in particular to a solar-driven CO2 conversion molten medium catalyst, a preparation method and application of the solar-driven CO2 conversion molten medium catalyst in a CO2
trapping and separating
system, and the solar-driven CO2 conversion molten medium catalyst comprises the following preparation steps: S1, preparing a modified carrier; s2,
molten metal is heated to be completely molten, modified
molten salt is added, stirring is conducted, and
emulsion is obtained; and S3, adding the modified carrier and
copper acetylacetonate into the
emulsion, carrying out ultrasonic-assisted dispersion in a
molten state, cooling, soaking in an
ionic liquid, and
drying to obtain the catalyst. The synergistic effect of light and heat is realized in a melting
system through the synergistic effect of the modified carrier and the modified
molten salt, so that
electron excitation initiated by
light energy and
surface reaction kinetics promoted by
heat energy supplement each other, the overall conversion efficiency of CO2 is greatly improved, the dual functions of efficient
trapping and in-situ catalytic conversion are achieved, and the catalyst has a good application prospect. Complex procedures of separation, compression and storage after CO2 capture in a traditional process are omitted, and the process flow is remarkably simplified.
