Molybdenum and tungsten carbides can shine too
Marlene Führer, Tomas van Haasterecht, Johannes H. Bitter
Abstract
In this perspective, we argue that transition metal carbides such as molybdenum and tungsten hold great potential for the catalytic conversions of future feedstocks due to their ability to remain active in the presence of impurities in the feedstock.
