This paper addresses the synergistic
effect of binary Ni–Fe
sites in double La2NiFeO6 perovskite on low-temperature
CO2 conversion to CO in the reverse water–gas shift-chemical
looping process. Experimental investigations and DFT calculations
proved that, for the reduction of perovskite, the Ni-site facilitates
the formation of surface oxygen vacancies and the adsorption of hydrogen
with agile lattice oxygen mobility. Thus, incorporating Ni can improve
the reducibility at low temperature. The Fe-site prevents strong adsorption
of the CO2 molecules on the La-site to facilitate its direct
dissociation into CO molecules, and thereby CO2 conversion
increases with Fe loading. Consequently, La2NiFeO6 can satisfy both high reducibility and CO2 splitting
activity by the synergy of binary Ni–Fe sites. It presents
an average CO productivity of 2.14 mmol/gcat and a maximum
CO production rate of 1.69 mmol/gcat·min at 700 °C,
more than 4.7-fold and 10-fold higher than each single LaNiO3 and LaFeO3 perovskites, respectively.
