Scientists explained that producing gasoline from carbon dioxide is a potential clean energy strategy to replace fossil fuels, but the activation and selective conversion of carbon dioxide is a difficult problem. Sun Jian politician said: "Compared with the more lively twin brother carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide molecules are very stable and difficult to be activated. Compared with the classical Fischer-Tropsch synthesis route, the catalytic reaction between carbon dioxide and hydrogen molecules is more likely to generate small molecular compounds such as methane, methanol and formic acid, and it is difficult to grow long-chain liquid hydrocarbon fuels. "
It is understood that in order to solve this problem, the research team has designed an efficient and stable multifunctional composite catalyst. Sun Jian politician said that this catalyst has three advantages. First, it can be transformed under the condition close to industrial production, which is beneficial to large-scale production; Second, the gasoline produced by this method can meet the requirements of environmental protection, and its main indexes such as benzene, aromatics and olefins can basically meet the national V standard; Third, it has good stability, and can run continuously and stably for more than 1000 hours, showing a potential application prospect.
