TaC and NbC coatings and Mo2C crystals on the carbon fibers were obtained by the currentless transfer in molten salts. Investigation of electrocatalytic properties of these compositions in the reaction of the hydrogen peroxide decomposition was carried out. The kinetic parameters of this reaction were determined. It has been established that NbC on carbon fibers has a higher electrocatalytical properties in comparison with other carbides.
Molybdenum semicarbide Mo2C was synthesized on carbon fibers Carbopon-B-22 by the method of currentless transfer in molten NaCl-KCl-Na2MoO4-Mo salts. The electrocatalytic activity of the Mo2C/C composite material in a hydrogen peroxide solution has been investigated. It was revealed that this composite material is catalytically inactive in an H2O2 solution. The electrocatalytic activity of composite materials Mo2C/C, TaC/C, NbC/C and uncoated carbon fiber in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is compared. The method of cyclic voltammetry confirmed the low activity of Mo2C/C in comparison with other composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
