Facile synthesis of porous Mo₂C/C composites by using luffa sponge-derived carbon template in molten salt media.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we report the synthesis of a new type of porous Mo₂C/C composite by using luffa sponge-derived carbon template and ammonium molybdate ((NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄•4H₂O) in molten NaCl-KCl salt media. The product exhibits a higher specific surface area and three-dimensional porous structure, including macrochannels, micropores and mesopores. The desirable porous structure results from the carbon template structure and Mo₂C coating formed.
