Towards heterogeneous catalysis and catalyst design :a density functional theory study on Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, which converts CO and H2 to a large range of hydrocarbons, is of paramount significance in utilizing natural resources, such as natural gas and coal. In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with kinetic analysis are introduced to study th...
