Titanates and titania coated titanates as supports in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

A titanate nanotube (TNT) material with a high surface area of 231 m2/g was prepared by reacting TiO2 with KOH in an autoclave for 24 hours. This surface area was about five times higher than that of the commercial TiO2 nanoparticles (TN) (or P25 Degussa) with a BET surface area of 47 m2/g. TEM i...
