The Fischer-Tropsch process is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas) into liquid hydrocarbons, such as gasoline.

The reaction requires a catalyst to proceed efficiently. The most common and historically significant catalysts used for this synthesis are based on transition metals like cobalt, iron, or ruthenium.

Specifically, a mixture of cobalt and thorium oxide (Co-Th) supported on kieselguhr is a classic and widely used catalyst in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of gasoline.

Answer: Co-Th
