A MOLYBDENUM (Mo2C) CARBIDE PRODUCTION METHOD

Abstract

This invention relates to a two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) production method formed by the combination of molybdenum (Mo) and carbon (C), used in many advanced technological application areas such as advanced electronics and sensors, particularly quantum technologies. The subject invention provides for the production of a high-purity, very fine, high-lateral surface molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) by a process based on the principle of topochemical transformation, which differs from conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods, by using graphene as a carbon source for molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) production (100).
