Highly Productive and Robust Core@Shell Heatpath SiC-Al2O3@Co/Re/Al2O3 Catalyst for Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis
Co-based catalysts are highly active for synthesizing long-chain paraffins through Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. However, their exothermic reactions can cause overheating and catalyst deactivation. To address this, thermally conductive SiC-Al2O3 pellets (HeatPathTM) were coated with a Co/Re/Al2O3 shell, significantly boosting the CO conversion rate and the yield of C2-4 and C5+ hydrocarbons over a wide range of temperatures by dissipating the reaction heat.
At LENCI, we focus on addressing the key challenges in electrocatalytic processes for sustainable energy, such as biomass conversion, CO2 reduction and fuel cells through innovations in nanomaterial, interface, electrochemistry and catalysis
