Study on Unsupported Nano-MoS2 Catalyst for Clean Fuel

In the work, nano-sized MoO3 and unsupported MoS2 hydro desulfurization catalysts were synthesized using a novel hydrothermal reduction method. The influences of the temperature and the synthetic methods on the growth morphology of molybdenum disulfide were systematically investigated. It was found that the MoS2 fibers were easy to be bended and had lots of defects, which increased the number of active sites on the catalyst and easily met the requirements of deep hydrotreating desulfurization of diesel oil.
