Abstract

Photothermal Fischer-Tropsch synthesis(FTS) has been extensively studied, but few reports were focused on systematically exploring the influence of support on catalytic performance. Herein, a series of Fe5C2-based catalysts with different supports was fabricated via a one-step wet-chemical method for photothermal conversion of syngas to lower olefins. Under light irradiation, the optimized Fe5C2/α-Al2O3 catalyst demonstrated remarkable photothermal FTS activity, delivering selectivity to lower olefins of 50.3% with a CO conversion rate of 52.5%. Characterization studies using X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis revealed that the active catalyst mainly contained Fe5C2 nanoparticles on α-Al2O3 support. It was found that the weak interaction between active phase and α-Al2O3 could promote the formation of Fe5C2, which contributed to the high selectivity to lower olefins.
