The synthesis involved hydrothermal fabrication of MoS<sub>2</sub> followed by reflux-based Co-salen complexation and mechanochemical anchoring. Comprehensive characterizations, including XRD, FTIR, BET, TEM, and TGA, validated the hybrid’s structural integrity and porosity. Catalytic performance was assessed through biodiesel production from <i>Nannochloropsis</i> sp. oil, yielding more than 93% at a 1 wt% catalyst dosage.

These results underscore the synergistic effect of organometallic coordination and 2D nanostructuring in enhancing reaction kinetics and durability.
