The invention discloses a carbon-based metastable-state
photoacid composite material, a preparation method thereof and application of the carbon-based metastable-state
photoacid composite material in CO2 capture, and belongs to the field of CO2 capture and
solar energy utilization. The carbon-based metastable-state
photoacid composite material is formed by compounding a carbon-based material and metastable-state photoacid, and the
mass ratio of the carbon-based material to the metastable-state photoacid is 1: (1-30). According to the composite material, the metastable-state photoacid is used for absorbing an
ultraviolet band in a solar spectrum, and the carbon-based material is used for absorbing a visible-
infrared band in the solar spectrum, so that full-spectrum absorption of the sun is realized; wherein photons in the
ultraviolet band are converted into
chemical energy through the metastable-state photoacid, and photons in the visible-
infrared band are converted into
heat energy through the carbon-based material. The CO2-rich solution is subjected to chemical
desorption and
thermal desorption at the same time under the synergistic conversion effect of
sunlight chemistry and heat, and quality improvement and efficiency improvement of
desorption of the CO2-rich solution driven by
solar energy are achieved. According to the invention, full-spectrum utilization of
solar energy can be realized, and the problem of low-efficiency solar energy utilization caused by single conversion mode and low conversion efficiency in the existing solar energy carbon capture technology is solved.
