Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Decomposition Using Activated SrFeO3-delta

초록

Today, climate change caused by global warming has become a worldwide problem with increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon capture and storage technologies have been developed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2); however, CO2 storage and utilization technologies are relatively less developed. In this light, we have reported efficient CO2 decomposition results using a nonperovskite metal oxide, SrFeCo0.5Ox, in a continuous-flow system. In this study, we report enhanced efficiency, reliability under isothermal conditions, and catalytic reproducibility through cyclic tests using SrFeO3-delta. This ferrite needs an activation process, and 3.5 vol% H-2/N-2 was used in this experiment. Activated oxygen-deficient SrFeO3-delta can decompose CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon (C). Although SrFeO3-delta is a well-known material in different fields, no studies have reported its use in CO2 decomposition applications. The efficiency of CO2 decomposition using SrFeO3-delta reached >= 90%, and decomposition (>= 80%) lasted for approximately 170 min. We also describe isothermal and cyclic experimental data for realizing commercial applications. We expect that these results will contribute to the mitigation of GHG emissions.
