Cooperative bimetallic catalyst for thio-etherification reaction prepared by crystal-facet engineering of γ-Al2O3 support

Lei Wang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a novel approach of tuning crystal facet engineering on γ-Al2O3 to expose new facets for improved catalytic performance. By selectively depositing and sulfiding metal oxides NiOx and MoOx on the respective facets, a NiS2-MoS2/Al2O3 catalyst is formed with substantially enhanced activity for thio-etherification reaction. The cooperative catalysis from the newly exposed facets shows superior activity over conventional catalysts, highlighting the potential for rational design of high performance catalysts.
