Abstract:Transition metal carbides have numerous applications and are known to excel in terms of hardness, thermal stability and conductivity. In particular, the Pt-like behavior of Mo and W carbides has led to a popularization of metal carbides in catalysis, ranging from electrochemically-driven reactions to thermal methane coupling. Herein, we show the dynamics of Mo and W carbides and the active participation of carbidic carbon in the formation of C2 products during methane coupling. A detailed mechanistic study rev… Show more
