Deskripsi

The two-dimensional morphology of molybdenum oxycarbide (2D-Mo2CO x ) nanosheets dispersed on silica is found vital for the dry reforming of methane. Here the authors show that the specific activity of 2D-Mo2CO x /SiO2 exceeds that of other Mo2C-based catalysts by ca. 3 orders of magnitude.
