Abstract

An unsupported sample of Mo2N has been subjected to a first-stage hydrocracking test. The evolution of the HDS and HDN performance indicated a transformation of Mo2N into MoS2. This was substantiated by XPS and TEM, the latter technique showing that the transformation is limited to only a few surface layers.
