Background
The environmental problems and the energy shortage problems accompanied by rapid development of economy and rapid expansion of industrial scale are becoming more serious. However, the excessive use of fossil fuels causes the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to increase year by year and causes serious environmental problems. Statistically, the content of CO2 in the atmosphere increases by more than 30% before and after the industrial revolution, and the reduction of CO2 into a hydrocarbon product or carbon monoxide having an energy utilization value and an industrial production value can not only alleviate environmental problems but also contribute to the development of clean energy. To address this problem, the fixation and conversion of carbon dioxide has become a research hotspot in recent years. The existing carbon dioxide conversion technology can be divided into biological catalysis, thermal catalysis, electric catalysis, photocatalysis and the like.
