Rate and selectivity hysteresis during the carbon monoxide hydrogenation over promoted Co/MnOx catalysts

The question for the structure-reactivity relationship of cobalt-based catalysts for the carbon monoxide hydrogenation is as old as the reaction itself. Here the authors show kinetic hysteresis for a potassium-promoted cobalt-manganese oxide catalyst to be driven by the Co-Co2C phase transition.
