  7. Carbon with different pore size Table 1 Structural and textual properties of the carbon supports. Co/AC Co/CNTs-8 Co/CNTs-20 Co/CNTs-60 Incipient wetness impregnation Co loading：20 wt %. Calcinated at 200℃ for5h in Ar. Carbon with wider pore has a bigger graphitization degree Fig.1 XRD patterns of carbon supports .

  9. Pore size effect on the reduced catalyst Fig.5. TEM images and Co particle size distributions of the reduced catalysts. Different carbon porosities resulted in different Coparticle location and different particle size distribution.

  10. Pore size effect on the reduced catalyst Table 2 Cobalt particle size and dispersion measured from TEM, XRD and H2 chemisorption. a d(Co) = 0.75d(Co3O4). b Mean size of Co particle based on TEM analysis

  11. FT performance of the catalysts Table 3 FT Synthesis results for the different carbon supported Co catalysts Larger carbon pore size resulted in higher C5+ selectivity but too large pore size resulted in lower CO conversion.

  12. Co particle size effect on the FT performance Fig.6. Relation between TOF and Co particle size. Fig.7. Relation between C5+ selectivity and Co particle size. Larger cobalt particles are beneficial for CO conversion and C5+ production as long as the Co particles are larger than 10 nm.

  13. FT synthesis over Co catalysts supported on NCNTs contents N doping Cobalt particle size FT perfomance

  14. N doping effect on the CNTs A-CNTs CNTs NCNTs A-NCNTs Fig.2. Raman spectra the supports Fig. 1 effect of acid treatmenton the carbon supports N content：2.9 wt% Fig.3 XRD patterns of carbon supports . N doping increased the surface defects and decreased the carbon graphitization degree

  15. N doping effect on the Co catalysts Table 1 N2 adsorption–desorption results of the supports and cobalt catalysts*. *Incipient wetness impregnation method； Co loading：20%，Calcinated at 200℃ for 5h in Ar. N doping resulted in more Co particles located inside the tubes

  16. N doping effect on the unreduced catalysts Fig.4 XRD patterns of the unreduced Co catalysts . Fig.5 H2-TPR profiles of the unreduced Co catalysts . N doping resulted in better Co dispersion and also increased the interaction between the Co and CNT surface．

  17. N doping effect on the reduced catalysts Co/A-NCNTs Co/A-CNTs Fig.6. TEM images of the reduced catalysts Table 2 Co particle size and dispersion measured from TEM, XRD and H2 -TPD.

  18. FT performance of the Co catalysts Fig. 7. Variation of FT activity with time on stream for different Co catalysts. Fig.8. The C5+ product distribution for Co/A-CNTs and Co/A-NCNTs catalysts. Products shifted to lower carbon numbers with most being around C6-C15 N doping improved FT activity

  20. Conclusion • Carbon porosity strongly impacted the structure, reducibility and FT performance of the supported Co catalysts. • Cobalt particle size had an impact on the TOF and on the C5+ selectivity. • N doping resulted in more surface defects, lower graphitization degree and improved the Co dispersion on A-NCNTs． • FT activity for Co/A-NCNTs was enhanced and the C5+ hydrocarbon distribution was shifted to lower carbon numbers with most being around C6-C15 ．
