![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of 2-cyclohexen-1-one in a high sulfur environment using a carbon-supported nanostructured tungsten sulfide catalyst Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of 2-cyclohexen-1-one in a high sulfur environment using a carbon-supported nanostructured tungsten sulfide catalyst](/preview/png/50833.png)
Vitreous carbon supported tungsten sulfide (WS2) nanoparticle catalysts were synthesized by fully sulfiding thin films of W. This support–catalyst combination was shown to be successful at hydrogenating 2-cyclohexen-1-one in the presence of sulfur. A well-known hydrogenation catalyst consisting of a nickel film, used as a baseline, was found to be completely ineffective in an identical solution. Catalyst samples with a nominal W thickness of 2 nm, produced the largest hydrogenation product yields with the highest efficiencies. SEM and XPS analyses confirm that this nominal thickness corresponds to a dense distribution of nano-scale WS2 particles templated on the carbon substrate. We envision the WS2–carbon system becoming a catalyst of choice for electrocatalytic hydrogenation in a sulfur-rich environment.
