Effect of strain on the performance of iron-based catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

摘要

Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedHighlights?Strain is used experimentally and theoretically to manipulate the FTS activity.?A volcano curve is derived between the strain and CO conversion.?The magnitude of activity through the strain effect is completely unprecedented.?The strain dependent activity is ascribed to the change of electronic property.AbstractThe role of strain on metal catalysis has been widely investigated by theoretical calculations. It is hard to prove by direct experimental strategies. In this work, we show how the strain can be adjusted experimentally to modulate Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (
