Abstract
Flower-like cobalt-molybdenum mixed-oxide microspheres (CoMo-FMs) with hierarchical architecture were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal process and subsequent calcination step. The characterization results show that CoMo-FMs were assembled from ultrathin mesoporous nanosheets with thicknesses of around 4.0 nm, providing the composite with a large pore volume and a massive surface area. The synthesized CoMo-FMs were employed as catalysts for the aerobic oxidative desulfurization (AODS) of fuel, and the reaction results show that the optimal catalyst (CoMo-FM-2) demonstrated an outstanding catalytic performance. Over CoMo-FM-2, various thiophenic sulfides could be effective removed at 80-110 °C under an atmospheric pressure, and a complete conversion of sulfides could be achieved in at least six consecutive cycles without a detectable change in chemical compositions. Further, the catalytic mechanism was explored by conducting systemic radical trapping and transformation experiments, and the excellent catalytic performance for CoMo-FMs should be mainly due to the synergistic effect of Mo and Co elements.

Abstract
Modulating the electronic characteristics of catalysts plays a significant role in optimizing their catalytic activity. Herein, Mn-doped nickel molybdate (MNMO) nanorods are synthesized via replacing the partial Ni sites by the Mn element, engineering a bimetallic synergistic effect to enhance the activation of oxygen (O2). Compared with the extremely low catalytic activity of pristine nickel molybdate (NiMoO4), complete desulfurization can be achieved by MNMO under the same reaction conditions. Characterization results show that the electronic structure and surface atomic composition of pure NiMoO4 will be modulated owing to the introduction of Mn atoms, leading to the enhancement of the oxygen vacancy content and stronger O2 activation capacity. Besides, the optimized catalyst MNMO-20 also displays satisfactory cycle performance, and the sulfur removal of dibenzothiophene still maintains 96.1% after six times of recycling. The distinctive engineering strategy and simple synthesis method provide a new insight in designing and developing oxidative desulfurization catalysts with high stability and effectivity.

Abstract
Aerobic oxidative desulfurization (AODS) promises a sustainable alternative technology for diesel desulfurization, which necessitates the efficient aerobic oxidation of thiophenic sulfides under mild conditions to minimize energy input, yet being longstandingly plagued by the grand challenge in low-temperature activation of triplet oxygen. Here we synthesize vanadium nitride quantum dots on graphene to controllably create coordination-unsaturated edge/corner V sites for boosting the AODS reaction. The catalyst activates the reaction at 70 °C, and is two orders of magnitude more active than the best V-based catalysts. We demonstrate through computational studies that the low-coordinated edge/corner V sites can effectively activate oxygen and adsorb sulfides to lower the activation barrier, dramatically enhancing the activity. The catalyst achieves deep AODS of real diesel at 80 °C with negligible attenuation in successive reuses, which highlights its attractive industrial potential. These findings provide scientific and practical insights to develop high-performance catalysts for a sustainable AODS process.

Abstract
Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) has attracted much attention owing to the mild working conditions and effective removal of the aromatic sulfur-containing compounds which are difficult to desulfurize using the industrial hydrodesulfurization (HDS) technique. Molecular oxygen in ambient air have been recognized as an ideal oxidant in ODS due to its easy availability, non-toxicity and low cost in recent years. However, molecular oxygen activation under mild operating conditions is still a challenge. Porous materials and their composites have drawn increasing attention due to their advantages, such as high surface area and confined pore space, along with their stability. These merits contribute to the fast diffusion of oxygen molecules and the formation of more exposed active sites, which make them ideal catalysts for aerobic oxidation reactions. The confined space pore size offers a means of catalytic activity and durability improvement. This gives rise to copious attention toward the porous catalysts in AODS. In this review, the progress in the characteristics and AODS catalytic activities of porous catalysts is summarized. Then, emphasis on the molecular oxygen activation mechanism is traced. Finally, the breakthroughs and challenges of various categories of porous catalysts are concluded.

Abstract
The ceaseless increase of pollution cases due to the tremendous consumption of fossil fuels has steered the world towards an environmental crisis and necessitated urgency to curtail noxious sulfur oxide emissions. Since the world is moving toward green chemistry, a fuel desulfurization process driven by clean technology is of paramount significance in the field of environmental remediation. Among the novel desulfurization techniques, the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process has been intensively studied and is highlighted as the rising star to effectuate sulfur-free fuels due to its mild reaction conditions and remarkable desulfurization performances in the past decade. This critical review emphasizes the latest advances in thermal catalytic ODS and photocatalytic ODS related to the design and synthesis routes of myriad materials. This encompasses the engineering of metal oxides, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, polyoxometalates, metal-organic frameworks, metal-free materials and their hybrids in the customization of advantageous properties in terms of morphology, topography, composition and electronic states. The essential connection between catalyst characteristics and performances in ODS will be critically discussed along with corresponding reaction mechanisms to provide thorough insight for shaping future research directions. The impacts of oxidant type, solvent type, temperature and other pivotal factors on the effectiveness of ODS are outlined. Finally, a summary of confronted challenges and future outlooks in the journey to ODS application is presented.
