The conversion of natural gas to chemicals and fuels via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process, depends on the ability of catalyst materials to suppress the formation of methane and carbon dioxide. Here, the authors develop a Co1Mn3-Na2S catalyst, which has a hydrocarbon product spectrum deviating from the Anderson–Schulz–Flory distribution.
