| Abstract |
A very challenging issue with Co-catalyzed FTS, surface carbon deposition and thus FTS catalyst deactivation, remains unresolved for many years. This research is designed to overcome the challenge by using theoretical calculations together with the FTS experiments. Our theoretical calculations for the first time reveal that HCP Co not only have much higher anti-carbon deposition stability but also exhibits a better anti-carbonization capability than FCC Co; the higher stability of HCP Co is attributed to its much denser active sites with the step B5-type active unit to eliminate surface carbon species. Our FTS experiments confirm the theoretical calculation results. The great dependence of anti-carbon deposition stability on the crystallographic structure and morphology of the catalysts revealed here may open a new avenue for better, stable catalysts with maximum mass-specific reactivity. |
