| Sumario: | Organizing a post-fossil fuel economy requires the development of sustainable energy carriers. Hydrogen is expected to play a significant role as an alternative fuel as it is among the most efficient energy carriers. Therefore, nowadays, the demand for hydrogen production is increasing. Green hydrogen produced by water splitting produces zero carbon emissions but requires the use of expensive catalysts. Therefore, the demand for efficient and economical catalysts is constantly growing. Transition-metal carbides, and especially Mo2C, have attracted great attention from the scientific community since they are abundantly available and hold great promises for efficient performance toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This study presents a bottom-up approach for depositing Mo carbide nanostructures on vertical graphene nanowall templates via chemical vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering, and thermal annealing processes. |
