Abstract

Silica-supported MoS2 catalysts prepared via precipitation from homogeneous solution (PFHS) exhibited high surface areas (180–190 m2 g−1 and activities which were about twice those of the unsupported specimens. An 8% Mo catalyst showed optimum activity. The superior activity of the supported specimen was attributed to the higher population of active sites occasioned by the good dispersion during PFHS. TEM examination also confirmed the existence of small MoS2 crystallites on the silica support.
