Solvothermal synthesis of MoS sub(2) nanospheres in DMF-water mixed solvents and their catalytic activity in hydrocracking of diphenylmethane

MoS sub(2) nanospheres were successfully prepared viaa solvothermal process using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([EMIM]Br) in a mixed solvent of DMF-water. A probable [EMIM]Br aggregation in different mixed solvents and the formation mechanism of the MoS sub(2) nanospheres are presented. The M...

Summary:MoS sub(2) nanospheres were successfully prepared viaa solvothermal process using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([EMIM]Br) in a mixed solvent of DMF-water. A probable [EMIM]Br aggregation in different mixed solvents and the formation mechanism of the MoS sub(2) nanospheres are presented. The MoS sub(2) nanospheres delivered high catalytic activity in hydrocracking of diphenylmethane.
