Porous materials from carbides and borides of the transition metals

Thermodynamic analysis and synthesis of porous Mo2C sponge by vapor-phase condensation and in situ carburization of MoO3

“…Porous ceramics have an important place in the field because they offer adequate strength and high permeability and are suitable for filtration of some metallic melts, incandescent gases, acids, alkalis and other corrosive media [2]. This type of material with whisker and platelet crystals is also used as a reinforcement component in the field of advanced composites with improved toughness [3].…”
