Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) layer materials have attracted surging interests since the discovery of the super properties of graphene in 2004. Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts which contain mainly 2D layer Mo(W)S2 active phases with Co or Ni as promoters thus obtain new development chance. Combining characterization technologies with theory calculations, the catalytic structure, electronic properties, and reaction mechanisms have been largely revealed. These new insight understandings have facilitated the design and fabrication of high-performance HDS catalysts for not only ultra-deep desulfurization but also the quality improvement of different type of fuels. However, this needs the subtle tradeoff among different catalytic properties such as HDS, selective hydrogenation, hydrodenitrogenation, and hydrodearomatics for the achievement of the octane value retaining of gasoline, cetane number improvement of diesel, or polyaromatics saturation of heavy fuels, which still have a lot of technique challenges. The industrial application also requires the effective synergism between process and HDS catalysts.
