CO₂ Hydrogenation over Unsupported Fe-Co Nanoalloy Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: The thermo-catalytic synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO₂ and H₂ is of great interest for the conversion of CO₂ into valuable chemicals and fuels. In this work, we aim to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the effect of alloying on the reaction yield and selectivity to a specific product. For this purpose, Fe-Co alloy nanoparticles (nanoalloys) with 30, 50 and 76 wt% Co content are synthesized via the Inert Gas Condensation method. The nanoalloys show a uniform composition and a size distribution between 10 and 25 nm, determined by means of X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The catalytic activity for CO₂ hydrogenation is investigated in a plug flow reactor coupled with a mass spectrometer, carrying out the reaction as a functio
