Being of high activity and good selectivity in C(5)(+) hydrocarbons, noble metal promoted cobalt Fischer-Tropsch catalysts are widely utilized in carbon monoxide selective hydrogenation to clean fuels or long chain hydrocarbons. The effects of noble metal promoters on the structure of Co active species are reviewed and discussed in this paper, as well as the reducibility, dispersion, the formation of bimetallic particles or alloy, the behavior of deactivation and the influences on their catalytic performances.
