Supporting monodisperse ironoxide nanoparticles on flat silica membranes offers a facile way to study the morphological and chemical changes of iron based Fischer-Tropsch Catalysts. Applying electron microscopy and in-situ X-ray adsorption spectroscopy we probe the stability and surface chemistry iron carbide and magnetite in dry and wet syngas.
