摘要

Chemical looping technology holds great potential on efficient CO2 splitting with much higher CO pro-duction and CO2 splitting rate than photocatalytic processes. Conventional oxygen carrier requires high temperature (typically 850–1000 ℃) to ensure sufficient redox activity, but the stable and high CO2 con-version is favored at a lower temperature, leading to the degrading on the reaction kinetics as well as the low CO production and CO2 splitting rate. In this paper, we prepared several ternary spinels and demonstrated their performance for chemical looping CO2 splitting at moderate temperatures. Us-ing the promotion effect of Cu to cobalt ferrite reduction and reversible phase change of the reduced metals, Cu0.4Co0.6Fe2O4 exhibits high CO2 splitting rate (～144.6 μmol g–1 min–1) and total CO production (～9100 μmol g–1) at 650 ℃. The high performance of this earth-abundant spinel material is also consis-tent in repeated redox cycles, enabling their potential in industrial use.
