“…Recently, transition metal carbides, such as molybdenum and tungsten, have attracted significant attention, as they exhibit activity that mimics the activity of noble metals for a variety of catalytic reactions. [29][30][31] For example, Mo 2 C has been reported as a catalyst for many reactions including CO 2 hydrogenation, 32,33 methane reforming and aromatization, [34][35][36][37] the hydrogen evolution reaction, 38,39 and the RWGS reaction. 16,30 In particular, Porosoff et al reported that potassium promoted Mo 2 C supported on γ-alumina was an excellent catalyst for the RWGS reaction, demonstrating a CO 2 conversion of 18.1% at 300 °C and 19.4 bar with a CO selectivity of 95.9%.…”
