FTS process has experienced 90 years of academic research and 70 years of industrial application focusing on traditional supports of Al2O3, SiO2, and TiO2. The more efficient catalyst corresponding with new technologies are the new trend of the old subject.
Carbonaceous materials supported metal catalysts for FTS.
Recently, a research group led by Prof. Jian Liu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with Prof. Andrei Y. Khodakov from Unité de Catalyse et Chimie du Solide of Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (UCCS, CNRS) summarized substantial progress in the application of carbon-based catalysts for FTS. These carbon-based catalysts include activated carbon (AC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), carbon spheres (CSs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived carbonaceous materials as supports. A critical and comprehensive progress about this topic is necessary and helpful for researchers to get an overview of this area quickly.
This review article summarizes the current development about the application of carbon-based Co, Fe, and other metals (Mo, Ni, Rh, Ru) catalysts for FTS in detail, in terms of their special characteristics, as well as the comparison of catalytic performances of various carbon-based catalysts. Carbon-based materials can serve as inert supports to adjust the interaction between the active phase and supports, which have been explored as promising alternative supports.
