Fisher-Tropsch processes methanation

Alloy surfaces are of substantial importance in catalysis, such as in the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, Fisher-Tropsch synthesis, steam reforming of methane, and many other processes [41]. In electrocatalysis, they have recently received attention in relation to the development of CO-tolerant fuelcell catalysts [42]. In many of these processes, atomic hydrogen and carbon monoxide are the most important intermediates or poisons therefore, these two adsorbates have received a great deal of attention in theoretical and computational studies.
