We studied carbon surface chemistry on a Cobalt single crystal model catalyst. Different forms of carbon were identified, with a distinctly different influence on CO and hydrogen adsorption and a different reactivity. These results give atomistic insights into why carbon is deactivating for Cobalt-catalyzed Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
