Silicon carbide coated with TiO2 with enhanced cobalt active phase dispersion for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis

Abstract

The introduction of a thin layer of TiO₂ on β-SiC allows a significant improvement of the cobalt dispersion. This catalyst exhibits an excellent and stable catalytic activity for the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) with high C₅₊ selectivity, which contributes to the development of a new active catalyst family in the gas-to-liquid process.
