Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient hydrogen evolution reaction catalyzed by molybdenum carbide and molybdenum nitride nanocatalysts synthesized via the urea glass route
TL;DR: In this article, α-Mo2C and molybdenum nitride nanoparticles were developed for catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by simply changing the molar ratio of the urea/metal precursor, and both are crystalline, phase pure and monodisperse in size.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Facile Molten‐Salt Route to Graphene Synthesis
TL;DR: A molten-salt (MS) route for the synthesis of carbon nanostructures and graphene by controlled carbonization of glucose in molten metal chloride is reported, which leads to nanoporous carbon with amorphous nature and adjustable pore size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal Nitride and Metal Carbide Nanoparticles by a Soft Urea Pathway
TL;DR: An easy way to produce several metal nitrides and metal carbides at relatively low temperature (800 °C) using simple and mainly nontoxic precursor is presented in this article, where a homogeneous gel-like starting product has been formed that is converted by calcination into the corresponding metal nitride or metal carbide (including mixed species), without any preliminary treatments or further purifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Mo and W carbide and nitride nanoparticles via a simple "urea glass" route.
TL;DR: For the first time, metal carbides were obtained using urea as carbon-source using molybdenum and tungsten nitride and carbides synthesized, which are almost pure and highly crystalline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic Liquid Monomers and Polymers as Precursors of Highly Conductive, Mesoporous, Graphitic Carbon Nanostructures
TL;DR: In this article, a template-free preparation of mesoporous graphitic carbon nanostructures with high electric conductivity is presented, using ionic liquid monomers or poly(ionic liquid) polymers as carbon precursors.
