Abstract Full text Electronic supplementary material About this article

A cobalt-silica hybrid nanocatalyst bearing small cobalt particles of diameter ~5 nm was prepared through a hydrothermal reaction and hydrogen reduction. The resulting material showed very high CO conversion (> 82%) and high hydrocarbon productivity (~1.0 gHC·gcat-1·h-1) with high activity (~8.5 × 10-5 molCO·gCo-1·s-1) in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction.
