Lower olefins are essential feedstock in polymeric industry, and therefore a direct syngas conversion route is challenging, yet highly demanding. Sun's group achieve 61% selectivity toward lower olefins over CoMn catalyst at mild conditions. It is found that the formation of Co2C nanoprism with unique facets contributed to the astonishing performance.
