Extra-heavy olefins (C), feedstocks to synthesize a wide range of value-added products, are conventionally generated from fossil resources via energy-intensive wax cracking or multi-step processes. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with sustainably obtained syngas as feed-in provides a potential way to produce C, though there is a trade-off between enhancing C-C coupling and suppressing further hydrogenation of olefins. Herein, we achieve selective production of C via the overall conversion of CO and water, denoted as Kölbel-Engelhardt synthesis (KES), in polyethylene glycol (PEG) over a mixture of Pt/MoN and Ru particles. KES provides a continuously high CO/H ratio, thermodynamically favoring chain propagation and olefin formation. PEG serves as a selective extraction agent to hinder hydrogenation of olefins. Under an optimal condition, the yield ratio of CO to hydrocarbons reaches the theoretical minimum, and the C yield reaches its maximum of 1.79 mmol with a selectivity (among hydrocarbons) of as high as 40.4%.
额外的重烯烃(C)是合成各种高附加值产品的原料,传统上是通过能源密集型蜡裂解或多步工艺从化石资源中获得的。使用可持续获得的合成气作为进料的费托合成提供了一种生产 C 的潜在方法,但在增强 C-C 偶联和抑制烯烃进一步加氢之间存在权衡。在此,我们通过在 Pt/MoN 和 Ru 颗粒的混合物上的聚乙二醇(PEG)中进行的 CO 和水的总转化,实现了 C 的选择性生产,称为 Kölbel-Engelhardt 合成(KES)。KES 提供了连续高的 CO/H 比,有利于链的增长和烯烃的形成。PEG 作为一种选择性萃取剂,阻止烯烃的加氢。在最佳条件下,CO 与碳氢化合物的产率比达到理论最小值,C 的产率达到 1.79mmol 的最大值,碳氢化合物的选择性(在碳氢化合物中)高达 40.4%。
