Abstract:

The greenhouse effect caused by the continuous increase of carbon dioxide concentration has caused a series of ecological and environmental problems such as extreme weather and melting of glaciers around the world. In order to reduce carbon dioxide content and improve the adverse impact of climate warming, it is urgent to develop efficient, green and safe processing technologies and promote the sustainable development of carbon resource cycle. Molten salt ionic liquid, as a good electrochemical conversion medium, provides a promising technical route for carbon dioxide reduction. The research on the capture and electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in high-temperature molten salt at home and abroad in recent years is reviewed, and the electrochemical and thermodynamic mechanisms of molten salt electrodeposited carbon are briefly described. The preparation of high value-added carbon materials with different morphologies: amorphous carbon, carbon spheres and carbon nanotubes are summarized, and finally the future development direction is prospected.

Key words: Molten salt electrochemistry, Carbon dioxide, Carbon material, High value utilization
