Surface-dependent sulfidation and orientation of MoS2 slabs on alumina-supported model hydrodesulfurization catalysts

Characterization and Hydrodesulfurization Activity of CoMo Catalysts Supported on Boron-Doped Sol-Gel Alumina

Sonochemical preparation of supported hydrodesulfurization catalysts.

Sonochemical preparation of Co and Ni promoted MoS(2) supported on alumina was achieved by high-intensity ultrasonic irradiation of isodurene solutions containing molybdenum carbonyl, dicobalt octacarbonyl, elemental sulfur, and Al(2)O(3) or Ni-Al(2)O(3) under Ar flow. The sonochemically prepared catalysts were characterized by elemental analysis, XPS, SEM, TEM, and XEDS, and hydrodesulfurizati...

Preparation and structure of alumina supported niobia model catalysts

Niobia/alumina model catalysts were prepared by physical vapor deposition of Nb in an oxygen atmosphere onto thin alumina films. Structural characterization, performed with scanning tunneling microscopy and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, revealed highly dispersed N2O5 nanoparticles exposing Nb=O groups. Thermal stability of the system was also examined. The results are compared wi...

An XPS study of CrOx on a thin alumina film and in alumina supported catalysts

We have investigated chromium layers evaporated onto a thin alumina film at room temperature. The oxidation and reduction behavior of this model catalyst was compared to atomic layer deposition (ALD) and impregnated alumina supported catalysts using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with a detailed analysis method utilizing asymmetric peak shapes to represent both metallic and oxidic state...
