CoS2/MoS2 catalysts were prepared using a two-step hydrothermal procedure for the first time, i.e., MoS2 was synthesized and then CoS2 was prepared and deposited on the surface of the MoS2. The characterization results presented that CoS2 and MoS2 are separated in the resultant catalysts and the surface area of CoS2/MoS2 was much higher than that of Co-Mo-S prepared using a one step method. In the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of p-cresol, the presence of CoS2 enhanced the conversion, but excessive CoS2 on the surface of the MoS2 reduced its activity. With an appropriate amount of CoS2, the catalyst presented an unprecedented HDO activity and direct deoxygenation (DDO) selectivity: 98% deoxygenation degree with a selectivity of 99% toluene at 250 degrees C for 1 h. This CoS2/MoS2 catalyst also exhibited high DDO activity for other phenolic monomers, which minimized hydrogen consumption and improved the economic efficiency.
