Heterogeneous catalytic conversion of syngas (including CO and H 2 ) derived from carbon-rich resources ( e.g. , natural gas, coal, and biomass) to desired liquid fuels or valuable chemicals, well known as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), is of great significance to alleviate the dependence of petro...
