- Abstract
Introducing promoters to cobalt-based catalysts for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has been found to be efficient in adjusting their performance in converting syngas into long-chain hydrocarbons. High spatial proximity of the promoter and reactive metal is desired to maximize the effectiveness of the promoters. In this work, CoMn@C composites were synthesized by the one-step carbonization of bimetal–organic frameworks (BMOFs: CoMn-BTC). BMOF-derived catalysts naturally exhibited that cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) are confined in the carbon matrix, with a concentrated particle size distribution around 13.0 nm and configurated with MnO highly dispersed throughout the catalyst particles. Mn species preferentially bind to the surfaces of Co NPs rather than embedded into the Co lattice. The number of Mn–Co interfaces on the catalyst surface results in the weakened adsorption of H but enhanced adsorption strength of CO and C. Hence, the incorporation of Mn significantly inhibits the production of CH4 and C2–C4 paraffin boosts light olefin (C2–4=) and C5 production. Furthermore, the FTS activity observed for the Mn-promoted catalysts increases with increased Mn loading and peaks at 2Co1Mn@C due to the abundance of Co–Mn interfaces. These prominent FTS catalytic properties highlight the concept of synthesizing BMOF-derived mixed metal oxides with close contact between promoters and reactive metals.
