Highly efficient hydrodesulfurization driven by an reconstruction of ammonium/amine intercalated MoS catalysts.

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is a commonly used route for producing clean fuels in modern refinery. Herein, ammonium/amine-intercalated MoS catalysts with various content of 1T phase and S vacancies have been successfully synthesized. Along with the increment of 1T phase and S vacancies of MoS, the initial reaction rate of the HDS of dibenzothiophene (DBT) can be improved from 0.
