Abstract

Abstract:

A highly efficient and reusable plane-curved and interlayer-expanded MoS₂ nanocatalyst with increased exposure of active sites was prepared. The catalyst was used for the heterogeneous hydrogen transfer reaction of nitroarenes with hydrazine monohydrate as a reductant under mild reaction conditions without pressure and base, which was different from other hydrogen transfer systems that require the presence of a base (e.g., propan-2-ol/KOH). The sandwiching of carbon between the MoS₂ nanosheets increased the distance between the layers of MoS₂ and exposed more Mo sites, resulting in superior catalytic performance compared with that of bulk MoS₂ catalyst. The active hydrogen (H*) generated from N₂H₄ could directly transfer to the -NO₂ groups of nitrobenzene to form aniline followed by N₂ emission, which was confirmed by detecting the gas emission with mass spectrometry during the decomposition of hydrazine or the co-existence of nitrobenzene and hydrazine.

Key words: Molybdenum disulfide, Interlayer expansion, Hydrogen transfer reaction, Nitrobenzene reduction, Alkali-free
