Fischer-tropsch synthesis: Differences observed in local atomic structure and selectivity with pd compared to typical promoters (Pt, Re, Ru) of Co/Al 2O 3 catalysts

Pd was examined as a promoter for Fischer- Tropsch synthesis, and its effects on cobalt oxide reduction and product selectivities relative to commonly used promoters (i.e., Pt, Re, and Ru) at atomically equivalent levels were compared. Pd was identified to promote cobalt oxide reduction to even lowe...
