Carbon Dioxide Decomposition Using Perovskite Metal Oxide SrFeO3-δ

초록/요약

Nowadays, climate change caused by global warming has become a worldwide problem with increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon capture and storage technologies for the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) are mature, whereas CO2 storage and utilization technologies remain relatively immature. In this light, efficient CO2 decomposition results using a nonperovskite metal oxide, SrFeCo0.5Ox, in a continuous flow system have been reported. The CO2 decomposition efficiency achieved using SrFeCo0.5Ox was five times higher than that achieved using Ni-ferrite; however, this result was obtained under nonisothermal conditions. In this study, enhanced efficiency, reliability under isothermal conditions, and catalytic reproducibility through cyclic tests using SrFeO3- are reported. The isothermal results of SrFeO3- and CO2 and CO concentrations during the tests suggest that the most appropriate temperature for CO2 decomposition is 650-700 °C. Although SrFeO3- is a well-known material in different fields such as membranes, no studies have reported its use in CO2 decomposition applications. The efficiency of CO2 decomposition using SrFeO3- reached 90% and decomposition 80% lasted for around 170 min. Cyclic redox experimental data for realizing commercial applications are described. In addition, the stability of the catalyst is demonstrated through the structure and surface analysis of the catalyst after the experiment. These results are expected to contribute to the mitigation of GHG emissions.
