Abstract:
Molybdenum disulfide-graphite intercalation compounds (MoS2-GICs), featuring lateral dimensions of several hundred nanometers and a thickness of one to two molybdenum disulfide layers, were synthesized via intercalation of molybdenum chloride into graphite followed by sulfidation with hydrogen sulfide within the graphite interlayers. The resulting MoS2-GIC catalysts demonstrated superior activity and selectivity for the hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene, as well as enhanced activity for naphthalene hydrogenation, compared to molybdenum disulfide supported on graphite (MoS2/Gmix), when evaluated in a batch reaction system.
