Cobalt carbide (Co2C) exhibits strong facet effect for Fischer-Tropsch to olefins (FTO) reaction. Herein, we report that the facet proportion of Co2C nanostructures can be tuned effectively by incorporating and altering the Mn content in the CoMn composite oxide as catalyst precursor. With the addition of Mn promoter, the Co2C nanoprisms with exposed (020) and (101) facets are generated under reaction conditions. In addition, the facet proportion of Co2C(020) facet can be effectively improved by enhancing the Mn/Co ratio. With the increase of facet proportion of Co2C(020)/Co2C(101) ratio, the as-obtained Co2C nanoprisms exhibit higher intrinsic activity and lower methane selectivity during the syngas conversion process. Kinetic experiments also demonstrate that the apparent activation energy (E-a) for CO conversion is significantly reduced as increasing the facet proportion of Co2C(020). This work provides a simple and feasible way to tune the exposed facet proportion for the rational design of Co2C nanocatalyst for FTO reaction.
