In the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, zeolite-containing catalysts make it possible to obtain high-quality synthetic fuel from CO and H2 in one stage. However, a significant disadvantage of using zeolites as an acidic component of the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst is the diffusion limitations of the transport of large hydrocarbon molecules in a porous system, which in turn leads to undesirable by-products and rapid deactivation. The use of zeolite with a hierarchical structure would reduce the spatial constraints inside the pores and increase the service life of the catalyst.
