Abstract
The bimetallic nickel-tungsten catalysts were prepared via solvothermal method. The X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) analysis revealed that the corresponding peaks at 14°, 34°, and 58° were for tungsten disulfide (WS2 ) hexagonal phase. The catalysts displayed different crystalline phase with nickel addition, and as an effect the WS2 surface area decreased from 74.7 to 2.0 m(2) g(--1) . In this sense, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed the layers set in direction (002) with an onion-like morphology, and in the center of the particles there is a large amount of nickel contained with 6-8 layers covering it. The catalytic dehydration of 2-propanol was selective to propene in 100% at 250 °C for the sample with 0.7 of atomic ratio of Ni/Ni + W.
