3-D Quantification of Catalysts in a Reducing Environment Ilke Arslan, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of California at Davis With the increasing need for clean, alternative fuel in the world today, much fundamental research is being done to find supplies and methods that can be used to create and sustain renewable sources. Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts are being researched as one aspect of the solution because they are used to create a petroleum substitute from carbon monoxide and hydrogen, also known as synthesis gas, which can then be used to create a synthetic fuel. We aim to examine the fundamental nanoscale mechanisms controlling the FT process by using a combination of 3-D imaging and in-situ/ex-situ gas experiments in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). To date, we have identified that the 3-D morphology of the unpromoted FT catalyst is a uniform distribution of clusters, and that the cobalt is in oxidized form, as shown below from the 3-D tilt series and electron energy loss spectrum. Further, we have verified that beam damage and/or contamination are not present and will therefore not affect our results.
