Effect of KCoMoS<sub>2</sub> Catalyst Structures on the Catalytic Performance of Higher Alcohols Synthesis via CO Hydrogenation

Different structures of cobalt and potassium modified molybdenum sulfide catalyst (KCoMoS<sub>2</sub>) were synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis, coprecipitation and reverse microemulsion methods. Nitrogen adsorption, XRD, TEM, XPS and HAADF-STEM-EDS techniques were used to characterize...
