β-Mo2C Nanoparticles Produced by Carburization of Molybdenum Oxides with Carbon Black under Microwave Irradiation for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Abstract: The synthesis of electrochemically active β-Mo 2 C nanoparticles for hydrogen production was achieved by a fast and energy-efficient microwave-assisted carburization process from molybdenum oxides and carbon black. With the use of microwavebased production methods, we aim to reduce the long-time high-temperature treatments and the use of hazardous gases often seen in traditional molybdenum carbide synthesis processes. In our process, carbon black not only serves as a carbon source but also as a susceptor (micr… Show more

“…As a d-block element with multiple oxidation states, molybdenum and molybdenum-based inorganic materials covering oxides, carbides, nitrides, phosphides, , selenides, and sulfides have drawn significant attention, and part of them are considered as promising candidates for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) without precious metal catalysts due to advantages including low cost and facile synthesis. On the other hand, metal borides are a kind of inorganic materials considered as potential electrocatalysts for the HER as well because of their high activity and stability. The combination of these two materials has led to continuous interest in the evaluation of the HER performance of molybdenum boride materials. ,, …”

“…This shows that the former has a good wetting property, which provides multiple hydrophilic channels for water molecules to flow, thereby speeding up the rate of water evaporation [18] . The high intensity ratio of the G and D bands (I G /I D ) observed from Raman measurements (Table S2), indicates that the 2D Mo 2 C CH photothermal layer possess a well‐organized interlayer channel compared to the other two Mo 2 C samples [13] . Notably, such highly ordered interlayer channel enables rapid water transportation [14] .…”

“…1350 cm À 1 and ca. 1580 cm À 1 , that corresponds to the characteristics of metal carbide [13]. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images (Figure2d-e) and transmission electron microscopy image (Figure2f) prove the obtained Mo 2 C CH sample possess a 2D sheet-like structure with a lateral size in micrometer scale.…”
