Silicon carbide supported cobalt for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis: probing into the cause of the intrinsic excellent catalytic performance†
Abstract
The thin SixOy layer on a SiC surface is changed to Al2O3 to form Al2O3@SiC. Co/Al2O3@SiC shows distinct different catalytic behaviour with Co/SiC, indicating that the SixOy layer on the surface of SiC plays a great role in the intrinsic excellent catalytic performance of Co/SiC.
