Building premium secondary reaction field with a miniaturized capsule catalyst to realize efficient synthesis of a liquid fuel directly from syngas

Herein, we report a new miniaturized capsule catalyst, Co/SiO2-MZ(6ET), which is different from routine capsule catalysts, has a smaller core size and has stronger Bronsted acidity. The premium secondary reaction field and the significant capsule size effect on Co/SiO2-M-Z(6ET) were demonstrated using a model compound of n-hexadecane (n-C-16). Furthermore, a striking gasoline selectivity of 72% was facilely obtained from FT synthesis.
