Abstract
Few layer (< 5 layers) MoS2 mixed with a 1T phase has the characteristics of a large specific surface area and an improved active site distribution. Therefore, it has been increasingly study for the catalytic hydrodesulfurization of polycyclic compounds. In this paper, few-layer MoS2 with a high proportion of the 1T phase is synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method using a green non-toxic ethanol/water solvent. Results show that few-layer MoS2 (3–5 layers) with a 1T phase up to 48% can be synthesized in a 50% ethanol solvent. This MoS2 is used to catalyse the hydrodesulfurization reaction of dibenzothiophene, and the target product conversion rate reaches 84.2%. Among them, biphenyl accounts for 70.2%, phenylcyclohexane accounts for 13.9%, and bicyclohexane accounts for 0.4%. According to the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) distance Ra, the effects of solvents on the structure and morphology of MoS2 and the conversion of dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization are determined. This work is significant for the synchronous synthetic exfoliation of MoS2 with a controllable number of layers, a higher ratio of the 1T phase and good catalytic HDS of polycyclic compounds. Few layers and high proportion of 1T phase MoS2 by solvothermal synthesis for catalytic hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene.
