Mechanism research in catalytic chemistry is both fascinating and confusing, particularly when it comes to solid-state catalysts, the nature of catalytic behaviours has been unidentified so far. For a mechanistic model to be acceptable, it should have an ability to explain all unique aspects of a given catalytic reaction and provide an illuminating explanation to a widely range of catalytic reaction. In our recent reports, a new mechanistic model was suggested for catalytic CO2 reduction reaction on Cu metal and hydrogen evolution reaction on various transition metals, which provides a reasonable interpretation to both catalytic reactions (from the diversity of product distribution and catalytic behaviour of various metals). Here, it is expected to extend this new mechanistic model to a wider range of catalytic reactions over various catalysts. Such as hydrogen combustion with Cu metal adding, oxidation of SO2 by O2 to give SO3 with NO adding, conversion of CO and NO into CO2 and N2 with Ru metal adding, and hydrogeneration of propylene with Pt metal adding. Importantly, this model seems also to pertain to the mechanism of the Fischer-Tropsch (T-F) reaction, i.e. the conversion of CO and H2 to hydrocarbons, principally a mixture of linear alkanes (including methane) and alkenes, by passage over various heterogeneous transition-metal catalysts (Fe, Co, Ni et.al.).
