Effect of nanostructuring on the interaction of CO2 with molybdenum carbide nanoparticles

Transition metal carbides are increasingly used as catalysts for the transformation of CO<sub>2</sub> into useful chemicals. Recently, the effect of nanostructuring of such carbides has started to gain relevance in tailoring their catalytic capabilities. Catalytic materials based on moly...
