ABSTRACT:

The application of the fundamental principles of the oxide mechanism of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis which emphasizes the relation between metal-oxygen bond strengths and catalyst activity, has resulted in a new series of highly active Fischer-Tropsch catalysts. These systems may point the way to future syngas catalyst development. The unique structural features of these catalysts have demonstrated the importance of surface structure and its relationship to catalyst composition and activity. (ERA citation 07:006965)
