Abstract

The activity of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) can be promoted by the reducible oxides, while their role remains elusive. Here, the authors reveal that, by varying the reduction condition to regulate the TiO x overlayer on Ru nanocatalysts, the TiOx overlayer participate in the C–O bond dissociation.
