“…Recent studies with ordered mesoporous oxides have shown that cobalt particles with defined particle sizes by confinement within the mesoporous channels are active for F-T catalysis. [180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187][188][189][190] An increase of the average particle size of the supported Co particles was found with increasing pore size of the mesopores silica; these larger particles are more reducible and lead to catalyst materials with higher F-T activity. Similar effects have been observed for Co/SiO 2 catalysts made from commercial amorphous silicas with increasing pore diameters.…”
“…ITQ-2 and ITQ-6) are also reported in literature. [180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187][188][189][190] The role of the support material is rather well established. It provides mechanical strength and thermal stability to the Co nanoparticles, while facilitating a high Co dispersion.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
