Hydrogen spillover in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: the role of platinum and gold as promoters in cobalt-based catalysts
The Low Temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) synthesis involves the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide with the aim to produce long-chained hydrocarbons. Commercial cobalt-based catalysts incorporate oxidic supports that are known to negatively affect the reducibility and hinder formation of t...
