Oxidation of Nanodispersed MoS2 in Ambient Air: The Products and the Mechanistic Steps

“…Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is a major active phase component of the promoted Co­(Ni)­MoS 2 /Al 2 O 3 industrial hydrotreating (HDT) catalysts . The active phase of HDT catalysts contains nanoscopic slabs of MoS 2 partially decorated at the edges with cobalt or nickel. , The morphology of the MoS 2 slabs determines the catalytic activity for both promoted and nonpromoted sulfides. , Beside its long-standing application in HDT, MoS 2 currently attracts considerable attention as a promising material for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) − or as a component of photocatalysts aimed at HER − and at organics oxidation. , …”

“…4,5 Beside its long-standing application in HDT, MoS 2 currently attracts considerable attention as a promising material for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) 6−8 or as a component of photocatalysts aimed at HER 9−11 and at organics oxidation. 12,13 It is a common knowledge in the HDT field that sulfide catalysts are air-sensible. Therefore, under industrial and laboratory conditions, air exposure of activated sulfide catalysts should be minimized.…”
