Several studies have demonstrated Ni-Mo2C catalysts exhibits high activity and
selectivity in hydrogen production processes. also, the molybdenum carbide has
shown a catalytic behavior similar as some noble metals, on the other hand,
nickel act as a promoter to increasing selectivity in production of hydrogen. In
this work, Ni-Mo2C nanoparticles were synthesized by carburization of nickel
and molybdenum oxides as precursors and sucrose as carbon source. The
synthesis of Ni-Mo2C was prepared employed the Temperature-programmed
reaction method at 900 °C under hydrogen reducing atmosphere. Also, these
metals were supported in carbon nanotubes (CNTs), The nanotubes are
characterized by having excellent thermal, mechanical and electrical, these
properties made that they have a wide range of applications in engineering. The
samples these materials were characterized by Scanning Transmission Electron
Microscopy (STEM) Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. (EDS), Spectroscopy
of photoelectrons emitted by X-ray (XPS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and
Voltammetry.
