Solvothermal access to rich nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanowires as efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction

Selective hydrogen production from formic acid decomposition over Mo carbides supported on carbon materials

“…In this respect, some alternative synthetic procedures such as those using other carbon precursors have been studied, but still surface areas below 40 m 2 g −1 were obtained. 12 Another possibility is to support the carbide on a high surface area material. In this sense, the use of carbon supports can be beneficial for several reasons.…”

Heterostructure Manipulation toward Ameliorating Electrodes for Better Lithium Storage Capability

“…The initial two resolved peaks at lower binding energies of 231.6 and 228.5 eV could be ascribed to the typical Mo (II) 3d 3/2 and Mo (II) 3d 5/2 peaks of Mo 2 C nanoparticles. 53 Another pair of split peaks with midrange binding energies of 235.1 and 232 eV can be assigned to the Mo (V) 3d 3/2 and Mo (V) 3d 5/2 peaks in MoO x , which may be the partial reduction product of MoO 3 . The individual peaks located at 236.1 and 233 eV can be attributed to the characteristic response of Mo (VI) 3d 3/2 and Mo (VI) 3d 5/2 peaks in MoO 3 .…”

Design and modulation principles of molybdenum carbide-based materials for green hydrogen evolution

“…Recently, a new route using organic-inorganic hybrids as precursors for chemical transformation towards the synthesis of Mo x C electrocatalysts has been widely adopted [74][75][76] . The inorganic Mo-O crosslink with organic H + -N through hydrogen bonds, then the polymerization reaction takes place to form organicinorganic hybrids.…”
