Molybdenum Disulfide‐Based Catalysts in Organic Synthesis: State of the Art, Open Issues, and Future Perspectives

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In the field of heterogeneous organic catalysis, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is gaining increasing attention as a catalytically active material due to its low toxicity, earth abundance, and affordability. Interestingly, the catalytic properties of this metal‐based material can be improved by several strategies. In this Perspective, through the analysis of some explicative examples, the main approaches used to prepare highly efficient MoS2‐based catalysts in relevant organic reactions are summarized and critically discussed, namely: i) increment of the specific surface area, ii) generation of the metallic 1T phase, iii) introduction of vacancies, iv) preparation of nanostructured hybrids/composites, v) doping with transition metal ions, and vi) partial oxidation of MoS2. Finally, emerging trends in MoS2‐based materials catalysis leading to a richer organic synthesis are presented.
