Preparation and Catalytic Activity for Fischer−Tropsch Synthesis of Ru Nanoparticles Confined in the Channels of Mesoporous SBA-15

Abstract

Ru nanoparticles confined in the channels of mesoporous SBA-15 with different pore sizes were prepared and investigated as catalysts for the Fischer−Tropsch synthesis. The deviation distribution from Anderson−Schulz−Flory rule was observed. By incorporating Ru nanoparticles into the pore of SBA-15 using surface modification, the catalyst activity was found to be significantly affected by pore size instead of particle size or other parameters.
