The invention provides a preparation method of a co-
metal doped
molybdenum disulfide catalyst precursor, which can be applied to the technical field of inferior oil hydrogenation. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing a
dilute acid solution with the pH value of 1.0-6.0; s2, adding a
molybdenum source, a
sulfur source and auxiliary
metal salt into the
dilute acid solution obtained in the step S1, and stirring and mixing at normal temperature to form a uniform
active component solution; s3, adding a carrier into the uniform
active component solution obtained in the step S2, and continuously stirring and mixing at normal temperature, so that the
active component is fully loaded on the carrier to obtain a
solid-liquid mixture; s4, carrying out
solid-liquid separation on the
solid-liquid mixture obtained in the step S3, and collecting a
solid product; and S5,
drying the
solid product obtained in the step S4 at 40-70 DEG C to obtain the supported single-layer
molybdenum disulfide catalyst precursor doped with the co-
metal. The invention also provides the
molybdenum disulfide catalyst precursor doped with the co-metal and application thereof.
