ABSTRACT
Two-layered metal oxides (LiCoO2 and cobalt-doped K n MnO2, n < 1) were explored as precatalysts for nanoconfined cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts for conversion of syngas (CO and H2) to hydrocarbons. Ex situ, in situ, and PDF XRD analyses are presented. Based on in situ XRD analysis, LiCoO2 underwent reduction to predominantly cubic and hexagonal phases of cobalt metal. Reaction with syngas resulted in the generation of carbon, cobalt carbide, and lithium carbonate, in addition to the metallic cobalt phases. In the case of cobalt-doped birnessite, catalyst activation converted the birnessite phase to manganite and the cobalt to elemental cobalt, along with similar lithium and carbon phases. Conversion of syngas to C1 through C7 products was observed. The best conversions were observed for the LiCoO2 precursor catalyst, with generally a low olefin-to-paraffin ratio. While the conversions for the cobalt-doped birnessite precatalyst were generally lower, with lower chain lengths (up to C5), these catalysts gave a strikingly high olefin-to-paraffin ratio in the best case, greater than 201.
