Nanostructured NiMoS₂/Carbon Catalysts for Syngas Conversion to Higher Alcohols.

Syngas conversion to higher alcohols remains a very attractive alternative due to the abundance of syngas feedstock, such as renewable carbon and waste-carbon resources. Catalysts suitable for syngas conversion still show low selectivity to alcohols. In this article, we present nanostructured NiMoS₂ and CoMoS₂ catalysts supported on activated carbon pellets and design strategies to improve its selectivity towards higher alcohols.
