Potassium is a well-known promoter for, amongst others, iron-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts. Its effect is typically viewed in terms of the interaction of coadsorbed CO and zero-valent potassium, increasing the strength of CO adsorption with simultaneous weakening of the C-O bond. However, it is known that potassium also stabilises the adsorption of oxygen, which needs to be taken into consideration to evaluate the effect of potassium in a working Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. The presence of potassium results in a strong increase in the strength of adsorption of atomic oxygen on chi-Fe5C2(1 0 0). The presence of atomic oxygen does not destabilise adsorbed CO at the coverage considered, and the strength of CO adsorption is significantly increased by the presence of coadsorbed K with or without coadsorbed atomic oxygen. The stabilisation of atomic oxygen due to the presence of coadsorbed potassium makes the removal of this species in the form of water under typical Fischer-Tropsch conditions difficult. Alternative pathways for the removal of atomic oxygen from the carbide surface are discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
