The hydrodesulfurization reaction of thiophene has been investigated over graphene‐like few‐layer MoS 2 as well as over Co‐ and Ni‐nanoparticle‐covered few‐layer MoS 2 . Conversion of thiophene to n ‐butane over few‐layer MoS 2 is superior to that over bulk MoS 2 ; the percent conversion is approximately 64 % at 450 °C. However, over few‐layer MoS 2 covered with Co or Ni nanoparticles the conversion increases to approximately 98 % at around 375 °C as a result of the smaller nanoparticles being more effective.
