While cobalt-based catalysts have been used in industrial Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for decades, little is known about how the dynamics of the Co-Co<sub>2</sub>C phase transformation drive their performance. Here we report on the occurrence of hysteresis effects in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction over potassium promoted Co/MnO<sub>x</sub> catalyst. Both the reaction rate and the selectivity to chain-lengthened paraffins and terminally functionalized products (aldehydes, alcohols, olefins) show bist ...[more]
