Molybdenum oxide-based catalyst towards better hydrogen production: effects of isothermal carburization

This study underscores that the optimized duration of catalyst exposure is a key factor influencing the successful carburization of MoO3 catalysts. This emphasizes how important carbide species are to increasing H2 efficiency. Additionally, it is noted that carbon formation on the MoO3 active sites can act as a potential poison to the catalysts, leading to rapid deactivation after prolonged exposure to the CO precursor.PMID:38568305 | DOI:10.1007/s11356-024-33060-z
