Abstract

Photothermal Fischer-Tropsch synthesis represents a promising strategy for converting CO into value-added chemicals. Here the authors report a Ru1Co single atom alloy catalyst for CO photo-hydrogenation to C5+ liquid fuels at ambient pressure, and confirm the role of Ru single atoms in promoting CO activation and C-C coupling whilst suppressing CH x * over-hydrogenation.
