Cobalt dispersion on various micro-and nanoscale SiO 2 and ZrO 2 was investigated. It revealed that Co/SiO 2 (M) exhibited higher activity than Co/SiO 2 (N) due to strong support interaction. However, Co/ZrO 2 behaved oppositely. In addition, Co dispersed on the nanoscale SiO 2 and ZrO 2 gave the similar activity for CO hydrogenation because of more uniform species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
