Abstract: A novel dual functional material (DFM) was developed to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into fuel, emphasizing safety, efficiency, and economy. This DFM integrates adsorption and conversion functions, featuring innovative nano-sized nickel (Ni) catalysts and titanium nanotubes (TNT) with a specific surface area of 150.9 m2/g as supports. The bifunctional material comprises MgO as an alkaline CO2 adsorbent and Ni as the methanation catalyst. Compared to TNT-based supports, the new DFM improves CO2 adsorption capacity by over 20 times. Granulated DFMs were fabricated using tablet granulation, offering practical applications for CO2 methanation in flue gas treatment.

Keywords:  duel function material, titanium nanotube, hydrangea-like Ni catalyst, methanation.
