Ionothermal Synthesis of Metal Oxide-Based Nanocatalysts and Their Application towards the Oxidative Desulfurization of Dibenzothiophene

Scheme 1

Schematic representation of the preparation of metal-containing ionic liquid complexes and the preparation of metallic nanoparticles (NPs). Both ionic liquid complexes and NPs were used as catalysts for the catalytic oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene.
