The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) results showed that cobalt oxalate supported ZSM-5 catalyst (CoOx/ZSM-5) synthesized from the incorporation of freshly prepared cobalt oxalate complex into ZSM-5 displayed increase in surface area, pore volume and average pore size while the nonfunctionalized cobalt supported on ZSM-5 (Co/ZSM-5) catalyst showed reduction in those properties. Furthermore, both XRD and XPS confirmed the presence of Coformed from the decomposition of CoOx during calcination of CoOx/ZSM-5 under inert atmosphere. The HRTEM showed that Co species average particle sizes were smaller in CoOx/ZSM-5 than in Co/ZSM- 5, and in addition, CoOx/ZSM-5 shows a clear higher degree of active metal dispersion. The FTS result showed that at CO conversion over Co/ZSM-5 and CoOx/ZSM-5 catalysts were 74.28 and 94.23 and their selectivity to C5+ HC production were 63.15 and 75.4, respectively at 4 h TOS. The HDO result also showed that the CoOx/ZSM-5 has higher OA conversion of 92 compared to 59 over Co/ZSM-5. In addition CoOx/ZSM-5 showed higher HDO and isomerization activities compared to Co/ZSM-5. © The Author(s) 2017. date: 2017 publisher: Nature Publishing Group official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85028588436&doi=10.1038%2fs41598-017-09706-z&partnerID=40&md5=0da5a32cfb5caba9ee003b268ba9cf77 id_number: 10.1038/s41598-017-09706-z full_text_status: none publication: Scientific Reports volume: 7 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 20452322 citation: Ayodele, O.B.
