Abstract
Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a heterogeneous catalytic process that converts biomass-derived syngas (mixture of CO and H2) to synthetic liquid fuels and valuable chemicals. FT synthesis has received renewed interest in recent years due to the necessity to decrease global dependency on fossil fuels. FT synthesis is a promising technology for the production of attractive, clean, carbon-neutral, and sustainable energy source for the transportation sector. The product distribution and selectivity control depends on catalytic property and operational conditions, which is the main challenge of FT synthesis research. This chapter summarizes the role of catalysts and effect of key factors on catalytic properties for product selectivity. It also discusses the kinetics and effect of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) or carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to control the product selectivity.
