Fischer-tropsch mechanism revisited: Alternative pathways for the production of higher hydrocarbons from synthesis gas
Evidence from density functional theory calculations that the main reaction pathway for the Fischer-Tropsch process on Co{0001} is not the carbide mechanism but an alternative branch starting with the hydrogenation of CO to an oxymethylidyne species. We show that hydrogenation is the main reaction p...
