Electron microscopy studies on MoS2 nanocrystals

Industrial-style MoS2-based hydrotreating catalysts are studied using electron microscopy. The MoS2 nanostructures are imaged with single-atom sensitivity to reveal the catalytically important edge structures. Furthermore, the in-situ formation of MoS2 crystals is imaged for the first time.

The project was carried out at Haldor Topsøe A/S.
