Abstract
We report the use of transition metal precursors impregnated into the pores of CPO-27(Co) metal–organic framework (MOF) crystals prior to pyrolysis as a straightforward strategy for tuning the properties of MOF-derived Co-based catalysts. By adding a Nb inorganic salt prior to pyrolysis hierarchical pores are formed in the resulting carbon and the Co accessible surface area is greatly increased leading to a strong enhancement of CO hydrogenation activity.
