Preparation of Co–Mo–O ultrathin nanosheets with outstanding catalytic performance in aerobic oxidative desulfurization†
Abstract
In this study, ultrathin α-Co(OH)2 nanosheets intercalated with molybdate were successfully synthesized using a one-step coprecipitation method, and the derived Co–Mo–O mixed metal oxides demonstrated outstanding catalytic performance in the aerobic oxidative desulfurization (AODS) of fuels using molecular oxygen (O2) in air as the oxidizing agent.
