Cost‐Effective Synthesis of Fe5C2 Catalyst From Nanosized Zero‐Valent Iron to Achieve Efficient Photothermocatalytic CO Hydrogenation to Light Olefins by Yuqing Xu, Yuan Li, Ruizhe Li, Hua Xu, Shuxin Ouyang, Hong Yuan

“…However, iron carbonyls, the raw materials for wet chemical synthesis of Fe5C2, are expensive and toxic, which limits large‐scale preparation. Here, a cost‐effective and versatile method is proposed for the synthesis of Fe5C2 nanoparticles (NPs) with nanosized zero‐valent iron (abbreviated as NZVI, prepared by reducing iron salts or ball‐milling iron powder) instead of iron carbonyls, achieving a cost reduction of 76.8%. …”
