Experimental and Theoretical Study on rGO-Decorated Mo2C Composite as the Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

“…In the first cycle, decomposition of the electrolyte and formation of SEI takes place and this could be the reason behind the increase in current. A pair of redox peaks at 1.18/1.49 V is observed, which corresponds to reversible conversion reaction of Mo 2 C with Li + ( x Li + + Mo 2 C + e = Mo + Li x C) . It has been reported previously that for the Mo 2 C/rGO composite, the redox couple is at 1.2/1.45 V. This slight difference with our result might be due to the difference in particle size and content of rGO in the composite.…”

“…In the anodic swipe, a peak at ∼0.7 V could be observed, which is not observed in subsequent cycles. This peak at 0.7 V in anodic sweep may be attributed to the formation of a lithiated Mo 2 C structure (Li x Mo 2 C) which probably decomposes to metallic nano Mo and carbon upon further lithiation. , The current near 0.1 V in the anodic sweep is also found to be higher in the first cycle than in the other cycles. In the first cycle, decomposition of the electrolyte and formation of SEI takes place and this could be the reason behind the increase in current.…”

“…Transition-metal carbides are mostly used in mechanical engineering applications due to their superior stability and higher corrosion resistance. These materials are also used in catalytic reactions for hydrogenation, CO absorption, water gas shift reaction, and so forth due to their similarity with noble metals. , Their application in lithium-ion batteries or other energy storage systems has not been explored much. Only after the discovery of MXene phases, the research on electrochemical energy storage properties of these carbides has gained considerable momentum.…”

Tuning the reactivity of molybdenum (oxy)carbide catalysts by the carburization degree: CO2 reduction and anisole hydrodeoxygenation

“…To mitigate the deactivation caused by carbonaceous deposition, one might carry out anisole HDO at higher hydrogen pressure and temperature 54 or enhance the hydrogenation ability of molybdenum carbide catalyst such as by increasing phase crystallinity 55 or by adding a second metal function. 56 3.4.3 Active site(s) of CO 2 and anisole conversion. Although the reactions of CO 2 hydrogenation and anisole HDO both involve CO bond cleavage, our catalytic results show that these two reactions correlate differently to the Mo sites measured by chemisorption.…”

Metal (Mo, W, Ti) Carbide Catalysts: Synthesis and Application as Alternative Catalysts for Dry Reforming of Hydrocarbons—A Review

“…The synthesis of molybdenum carbide by temperature-programmed reduction involves the preparation of the molybdenum precursor (e.g., MoO 3 , MoO 2, NiMoO 4 ) and further annealing under hydrogen and carbon-containing gases [70][71][72][73]. In most reports, methane is used as a carbon-containing gas; however, other mixtures have been examined including ethane, propane, and butane in hydrogen [9,[74][75][76].…”
