The application belongs to the technical field of catalytic materials, and discloses a preparation method and application of a double
cobalt atom catalyst. The target catalyst Co2-DAC is prepared through the steps of mixed liquid preparation, preheating dropwise adding, constant temperature refluxing and post-treatment purifying, and the reaction condition is mild,
inert gas protection is not needed, the process is simple, and the cost is relatively low. The prepared catalyst takes double
cobalt atoms as the
active center, the atoms are uniformly dispersed, and the structure is stable. With the synergistic effect of the double active sites, the charge transport and CO2 activation performance can be improved, the catalyst shows
high activity and stability in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction, can effectively convert CO2 into high value-added products, and provides guidance for designing double atom catalysts with high photocatalytic CO2
reduction activity.
