Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, iron-group nanoalloy catalysts exhibiting novel catalytic properties have been developed. Application of newly developed 2-step synthesis method enabled the preparation of atomically well mixed iron-group nanoalloy catalysts. Furthermore, Fe-Co/C catalysts exhibited high propylene selectivities in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, which could be attributed to the existence of metallic Fe-Co alloys due to interactions between elements in the Fe-Co alloys.
