Carbon nanofibres coated with Ni decorated MoS2 nanosheets as catalyst for Vacuum Residue hydroprocessing

Catalysts based on functionalised carbon nanofibers (FCNF) coated with Ni-decorated MoS2 nanosheets were obtained by direct decomposition of ammonium thiomolybdate and nickel nitrate impregnated on the FCNF under controlled temperature conditions in inert atmosphere. The catalysts were characterised by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction ...

Pt nanoparticles/MoS2 nanosheets/carbon fibers as efficient catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction

Advanced materials for electrocatalytic water splitting are central to renewable energy research. In this study, we describe a two-step reaction for preparing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrodes composed of Pt nanoparticles and MoS2 nanosheets grown on carbon fibers. The morphology and the structures are characterized by a variety of techniques including SEM, TEM, XRD and XPS. Detailed...

Graphene decorated with MoS2 nanosheets: a synergetic energy storage composite electrode for supercapacitor applications.

The two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide nanosheet-carbon composite is an attractive material for energy storage because of its high Faradaic activity, unique nanoconstruction and electronic properties. In this work, a facile one step preparation of a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet-graphene (MoS2/G) composite with the in situ reduction of graphene oxide is reported. The s...

Hydroprocessing of Jatropha Oil for Production of Green Diesel over Non-sulfided Ni-PTA/Al2O3 Catalyst

The non-sulfided Ni-PTA/Al2O3 catalyst was developed to produce green diesel from the hydroprocessing of Jatropha oil. The Ni-PTA/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by one-pot synthesis of Ni/Al2O3 with the co-precipitation method and then impregnanting Ni/Al2O3 with PTA solution. The catalysts were characterized with BET, SEM-EDX, TEM, XRD, XPS, TGA and NH3-TPD. The Ni and W species of the Ni-PTA/Al2...
