Abstract：An analysis of the literature review of"carbon lock-in"research would be crucial for pro-moting low-carbon research.This paper collects Chinese and foreign literature on"carbon lock-in"from 2000 to 2022 and reviews"carbon lock-in"research with a focus on dynamic evolution and lock-out mechanisms.This paper also applies bibliometric analysis software to sort literature and reveal cru-cial issues using strategic coordinate charts,analyzing dissertation characteristics and keywords to un-cover trends.Results show that foreign research on"carbon lock-in"produces a higher volume of pub-lications,team size and cooperation intensity compared to domestic research.The main research direc-tion of domestic"carbon lock-in"research is low-carbon and sustainable development,while foreign research focuses on global climate and energy development.In the future,scholars need to explore the differential influence of regional and industrial factors on carbon lock-in and build a dynamic assess-ment model integrating industry and regional synergy to promote global carbon emissions reduction.
