Modulating the sulfurization procedure to decrease by-product formation for one-step catalytic synthesis of sulfur-containing chemicals by ZhiZhi Xu, Jian Fang, Min Luo, Dedong He, Dingkai Chen, Jichang Lu, Yongming Luo

“…Herein, we propose a facile and simple sulfurization procedure-dependent strategies to regulate the Mo-S(O) bond strength of K-MoS2 catalysts for highly selective CO-to-CH3SH catalysis. The activity tests, the characterization results and in situ DRIFTS technique demonstrate that a slower sulfurization heating rate and abundant-reduced sulfurization atmosphere facilitate the formation of K-intercalated 1 T-MoS2 phase, which possesses a weaker Mo-S(O) bond than that of CO bond in CO molecules. …”
