Promotion of syngas conversion to heavy fuels on metal catalyst by promoter and active-site proximity

摘要

Reporting in Cell Reports Physical Science, Ding and co-workers have discovered higher CO conversion and fuel selectivity in a yolk-shell catalyst (Co-Mn@SiO2) as a result of closer nanoparticle contact than atom-doping and separated nanoparticles in Fischer-Tropsch synthe-sis (FTS). This research advances the development of high-perfor-mance FTS catalysts by controlling promoter-active-site intimacy.
