Ruthenium nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes as efficient catalysts for selective conversion of synthesis gas to diesel fuel.
Diesel do nicely: The title system is a highly selective Fischer-Tropsch catalyst for the production of C(10)-C(20) hydrocarbons (diesel fuel). The C(10)-C(20) selectivity strongly depends on the mean size of the Ru nanoparticles. Nanoparticles with a mean size around 7 nm exhibit the highest C(10)-C(20) selectivity (ca. 65%) and a relatively higher turnover frequency for CO conversion.
