Abstract
Abstract Rich N-doped molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) nanowires for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have been prepared by a facile calcination-solvothermal treatment utilizing inorganic-organic hybrid MoOx/aniline as precursor. Firstly, MoOx/aniline nanowires provide one-dimensional nanostructure and N element for the synthesis of N-doped Mo2C through calcination process. {XRD} and {SEM} show that uniform N-doped Mo2C nanowires with
