Abstract
A comparative study of the direct and hydrogen assisted CO dissociation pathways have been performed using DFT on the FCC-Co{l00} surface. An interpretation of the calculated energies is afforded by using the microkinetic approach. These results are analysed in the broader context of the related { 111 } surface to obtain a picture of catalytic behavior on a hypothetical cobalt particle consisting of flat surfaces. This approach clearly shows that the
hydrogen assisted CO dissociation mechanism is an important contributor to the CO activation mechanism during the first step of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
