The consumption of fossil fuels has led to a series of environmental issues due to CO2 emissions, drawing increasing attention to carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Lithium silicate (Li4SiO4) is considered a highly promising sorbents due to its high CO2 capture capacity, low regeneration temperature, and good thermal stability. However, its widespread application is limited by the high cost of silicon sources and insufficient cycling performance. Low?cost fly ash was used as silicon source to synthesize Li4SiO4 via solid?state and impregnation?precipitation methods, followed by modification with K2CO3 doping. The materials were characterized by testing methods such as XRF, XRD, and SEM.The results show that the sorbents prepared by the solid?phase method at 700 °C (LS?700) possesses a rich pore structure and a high specific surface area of 1.584 2 m2/g, and exhibits the optimal sorption performance, with the CO? sorption capacity remaining at 0.179 7 g/g after 10 cycles. After K2CO3 doping, the CO2 sorption rate increased to 0.054 5 g/(g·min), which is 1.4 times that of the undoped sample. Mechanistic studies revealed that the formation of a low?temperature eutectic layer between K2CO3 and Li2CO3 promoted CO2 diffusion and reduced the reaction activation energy. This study provides an effective strategy for developing low?cost and high?performance Li4SiO4?based sorbents, demonstrating significant value for enhancing CO2 capture efficiency from coal?fired flue gas.
