AuPt nano-alloys as reduction promoters for Co/TiO₂ Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

Includes bibliographical references. === Cobalt-based catalysts for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are typically promoted with noble metals to achieve a more facile reduction of Co₃O₄ to the catalytically active metal, Co⁰. Hydrogen spillover is thought to be the dominan...
