Abstract: | An ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (ATTM) catalyst precursor is synthesized and then thermally decomposed at different temperatures
in N2 or H2 atmosphere. Characterization of the resulting compounds by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface area analysis indicates
the formation of MoS2–2H with a surface area of 5–9 m2/g. When ATTM is treated with cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and then decomposed in N2 at 723 K, the resulting material has a surface area nearing 200 m2/g. If treatment also includes hydrazine, the surface area of the resulting MoS2–2H reaches 215 m2/g. Analysis by XRD and electron microscopy shows a noticeable dispersion in the layers of the resulting MoS2. The catalytic activity of the materials is tested in a batch reactor for cyclohexene hydrogenation, where the highest activity
sulfides are those obtained by thermal decomposition of the chemically treated precursors in N2. |
