Cobalt Carbide Catalyst for Fischer傍ropsch Synthesis: In Situ Monitoring during the Transition to Metal State and Its Application As Fischer傍ropsch Catalyst in Slurry Phase

Our work focused on in situ characterizations of cobalt carbide in the temperature range at which chemical conversion to metal cobalt occurred using time-resolved analysis of gas molecules during the hydrogenation. We also considered the application in slurry phase FTS of the Co₂C transformed to a more active metal cobalt.
