Aqueous-phase Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with a ruthenium nanocluster catalyst

(Chemical Equation Presented) No need for support: An aqueous-phase Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with a high turnover frequency of 12.9 h-1 has been realized over a ruthenium nanocluster catalyst (with particle diameter of 2.0 nm) at 150??C. This catalyst, in the absence of any support, achieves an activity that exceeds those of conventional supported catalysts. ? 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
