Novel Fe/MnK-CNTs nanocomposites are developed as catalysts for direct production of lower olefins from syngas, delivering a high iron time yield of 337.2 μmolCO· gFe−1·s−1 with 51.3%C selectivity toward C2C4 olefins under the optimal reaction conditions (270°C, 2.0 MPa, 30,000 mL h−1 gcat−1). These catalysts are optimized by varying calcination temperature from 150 to 400°C. Multiple techniques including transmission electron microscopy, Elemental mapping, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, H2-temperature-programmed reduction, and Raman were employed to reveal the relationship between the catalyst nature and unique catalytic behavior. In particular, the resultant catalyst from the calcination temperature of 220°C exhibits the highest selectivity of C2C4 olefins as well as good stability, which are enabled by the trade-off among the effects of iron particle sizes, promoters, metal-support interaction and support surface chemistry. Moreover, influences of reaction temperature, reaction pressure and space velocity are also investigated.
