USE OF MOF Ni2(dhtp) (H4dhtp = 2,5- dihydroxyterephtalic acid) AS SACRIFIICIAL TEMPLATE FOR SYNTHESIS OF 3-LAYER Ni- DOPED MoS2 AS BULK HDS CATALYST

摘要

We have reported a novel route to an efficient bulk hydrodesulfurisation catalyst. The final Ni-doped MoS2 nanocrystals (twice as active with respect to benchmark unsupported catalyst while containing four time less molybdenum) are obtained by sulfidation of a material obtained by well-controlled large scale post-synthesis modification of the MOF Ni2(dhtp). Unlike most previous reports on MOF applications in heterogeneous catalyst, we have reported here an approach where the MOF structure has served as a template but does not directly constitute the final heterogeneous catalyst.
