“…Molybdenum carbides can be synthesized by various techniques, including calcination [4], tuning carburization atmosphere and temperature of the precursor [5], pyrolysis [8], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [13,14], through the first reduction reaction and the following carbonization process [15], mechanochemical synthesis [16], using a temperature programmed reaction procedure [17] etc. Among the methods, one can single out plasma methods due to the possibility of achieving high temperatures and reaction rates [18,19].…”
