Catalytic Activity of Exfoliated MoS2 in Hydrodesulfurization, Hydrodenitrogenation and Hydrogenation Reactions

“…With the same Mo loading, similar activity and selectivity were observed. A similar conclusion was made by Kochubey et al [20]. Bockrath and Parfitt [21,22] tested the hydrogenation (HYD) activity of exfoliated MoS 2 catalysts in coal liquefaction and residue upgrading [21,22].…”

Lithium ion battery applications of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites

“…Interestingly, an examination of literature pertaining to MoS 2 nanostructures as hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts leads to some useful information regarding point defects in the material. [200][201][202][203][204] The structure of HDS catalysts must be well characterized, as it is usually defect sites on the crystal that lead to the bonding of the sulfur functional group (or sulfurcontaining groups) in organic compounds. Using techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), the morphology of these MoS 2 nanostructures (such as nanosheets and fullerenes) have been meticulously characterized by these researchers.…”

Activity of MoSe2/Al2O3 catalysts in decomposition of thiophene and selenophene

“…Then, this suspension is deposited on a support in the form of single-layer nanoparticles. The details of the MoS 2 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst preparation used in this work are described in [9].…”

“…Recently we found [9], that the activity of MoS 2 /Al 2 O 3 catalysts in the thiophene hydrogenolysis weakly depends on the diameter (20 ÷ 200 Å) of particles on the basal plane of MoS 2 , which would be impossible if active Mo ions were located only on the edge plane. Besides, it was shown [10] that the catalytic activity of Co-MoS 2 /Al 2 O 3 catalysts increases with an increase in the ratio Co/(Co+Mo) up to 1/4, which contradicts the assumption that the Co ions are located only on the edge plane of MoS 2 particles.…”
