Abstract

Abstract:

MoS₂ samples with controllable morphologies and structures were synthesized using surfactant-assisted hydrothermal processes. The effects of surfactants (PEG, PVP, P123, SDS, AOT, and CTAB) on the morphologies and structures of MoS₂ samples were investigated. The results revealed that spherical, bulk-like, and flower-like MoS₂ particles assembled by NH₄⁺-intercalated MoS₂ nano-sheets were synthesized. The morphologies of the MoS₂ samples and their structures (including the slab length and the number of stacked layers) of MoS₂ nano-sheets in these samples could be controlled by adjusting the surfactants. Mono-dispersed spherical MoS₂ particles could be synthesized with PEG via the creation of MoS₂ nano-sheets with slab lengths shorter than 15 nm and fewer than six stacked layers. Possible formation mechanisms of these MoS₂ samples created via surfactant-assisted hydrothermal processes are proposed. Further, the catalytic activities of MoS₂ samples for anthracene hydrogenation were evaluated in a slurry-bed reactor. The catalyst synthesized with the surfactant PEG exhibited the highest catalytic hydrogenation activity. Compared with the other catalysts, it had a smaller particle size, mono-dispersed spherical morphology, shorter slab length, and fewer stacked layers; these were all beneficial to exposing its active edges. This work provides an efficient approach to synthesize transition metal sulfides with controllable morphologies and structures.
