Ultra-rapid processing of refractory carbides; 20 s synthesis of molybdenum carbide, Mo2C

Abstract

The microwave synthesis of molybdenum carbide, Mo2C, from carbon and either molybdenum metal or the trioxide has been achieved on unprecedented timescales; Ex- and in-situ characterisation reveals key information as to how the reaction proceeds.
