LiMn2O4 catalyst for CO2 decomposition was synthesized by oxidation method for 30 min at 600℃ in an electric furnace under air condition using manganese(II) nitrate (Mn(NO3)2·6H2O), Lithium nitrate (LiNO3) and Urea (CO(NH2)2). The synthesized catalyst was reduced by H2 at various temperatures for 3 hr. The reduction degree of the reduced catalysts were measured using the TGA. And then CO2 decomposition rate was measured using the reduced catalysts. Phase-transitions of the catalysts were observed after CO2 decomposition reaction at an optimal decomposition temperature. As the result of X-ray powder diffraction analysis, the synthesized catalyst was confirmed that the catalyst has the spinel structure, and also confirmed that when it was reduced by H2, the phase of LiMn2O4 catalyst was transformed into Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase. After CO2 decomposition reaction, it was confirmed that the peak of LiMn2O4 of spinel phase. The optimal reduction temperature of the catalyst with H2 was confirmed to be 450℃(maximum weight-increasing ratio 9.47%) in the case of LiMn2O4 through the TGA analysis. Decomposition rate(%) using the LiMn2O4 catalyst showed the 67%. The crystal structure of the synthesized LiMn2O4 observed with a scanning electron microscope(SEM) shows cubic form. After reduction, LiMn2O4 catalyst became condensed each other to form interface. It was confirmed that after CO2 decomposition, crystal structure of LiMn2O4 catalyst showed that its particle grew up more than that of reduction. Phase-transition by reduction and CO2 decomposition ; Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase at the first time of CO2 decomposition appear like the same as the above contents. Phase-transition at 2~5 time ; Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase by reduction and LiMn2O4 of spinel phase after CO2 decomposition appear like the same as the first time case. The result of the TGA analysis by catalyst reduction ; The first time, weight of reduced catalyst increased by 9.47%, for 2~5 times, weight of reduced catalyst increased by average 2.3% But, in any time, there is little difference in the decomposition ratio of CO2. That is to say, at the first time, it showed 67% in CO2 decomposition rate and after 5 times reaction of CO2 decomposition, it showed 67% nearly the same as the first time.
