Abstract

Molybdenum and tungsten carbides are perspective catalytic systems. Their activity in many reactions is comparable to the activity of platinum group metals. The development of the synthesis method for of highly dispersed binary molybdenum and tungsten carbides is an important task. Dispersions of molybdenum-tungsten blue were used as a precursor for synthesis of binary molybdenum and tungsten carbides. The synthesis of carbides was carried out by thermal decomposition of molybdenum-tungsten blue xerogels in an inert atmosphere. The binary carbides were characterized by XRD, TGA, SEM and nitrogen adsorption. The influence of the molar ratio reducing agent/Me [R]/[ΣMe], molar ratio molybdenum/tungsten [Mo]/[W] on phase composition, and morphology and porous structure of binary carbides was investigated. Samples of binary molybdenum and tungsten carbides with a highly developed porous structure and a specific surface area were synthesized.
