Abstract:
The reduction of nitrobenzene (Ph-NO2) to aniline (Ph-NH2) utilizes H2S as a hydrogen donor. This approach alleviates environmental pollution while enabling resource utilization. However, it remains a challenge to develop sulfur-resistant catalysts. Herein, we fabricated a series of MoS2/ZrO2 catalysts via crystalline phase modulation engineering for the reduction of Ph-NO2 by H2S to Ph-NH2. Systematic experiments demonstrate that amorphous ZrO2 has the highest concentration of oxygen vacancies (Ov), which exhibits the highest activity and stability. As a result, the MoS2/a-ZrO2 achieves a Ph-NO2 conversion of 92 % and a Ph-NH2 selectivity of 85.7 % at 1.5 MPa and 90 °C, which is superior to MoS2/m-ZrO2, MoS2/t-ZrO2, MoS2 and ZrO2. In situ FT-IR measurements combined with full two-dimensional time of flight chromatography suggest a double H-induced dissociation pathway for the reduction of Ph-NO2 to Ph-NH2 by H2S. This study offers a viable strategy for the valorization of H2S into valuable resources. © 2025 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
