Large-Scale Synthesis of Molybdenum Carbide Based Catalyst by Vacuum-Free DС Arc Plasma Method

Abstract:

The paper presents experimental studies on the synthesis of materials based on molybdenum carbide, which can be used as a catalyst for hydrogen production by water splitting. We successfully carried out experiments to scale up the process, namely, the amount of the synthesized product was increased by 4 times with the same parameters of the experimental setup. In this case, the specific energy decreases taking into account the increase in the mass of the product. The energy intensity of the material obtained has been reduced from 520 kJ/g to 130 kJ/g.
