title: Site regeneration in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction: a synchronized CO dissociation and C-C coupling pathway.
abstract: A critical issue in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction is the blocking of the active sites for low barrier CO dissociation by the C(1) adsorbed species generated from CO dissociation, which can hinder the further steps in the FT process. Here, we propose a synchronized pathway for low barrier CO dissociation and C-C coupling on a corrugated Ru surface.
