摘要:
碳化钼(MoCx)具有独特的类贵金属反应活性、优异的热稳定性及规模化制备潜力, 其催化性能超越传统过渡金属, 成为逆水煤气变换(RWGS)反应的高效催化剂. 2024-2025年的最新研究进展显示, 此前未被充分探索的α-MoC相表现出巨大的应用潜力, 其具有高活性和高CO选择性, 且碳化物动态参与到二氧化碳活化过程中. 原位机理研究和物相-活性的构效关系等些研究进展表明, MoCx可用作RWGS和下游二氧化碳资源化利用的转换平台. 然而, 目前还存在一些关键问题有待解决, 如表面碳空位的确切作用、MoCx在动态RWGS条件下的长期稳定性、合成方法的规模化潜力, 以及在工业应用中的耐久性等. 本文集中综述了最近进展, 同时概述了将MoCx催化剂用于循环碳技术和工业二氧化碳利用所面临的当前挑战和未来研究方向.

| Catalyst | Dominant RWGS pathway | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| β-Mo2C (bulk/nanocrystalline) [ | dissociative | Mo-terminated Mo2C surfaces favor CO2 dissociation. |
| α-Mo2C (bulk/nanocrystalline) [ | H2-assisted redox mechanism | phase purity, weak CO binding, and interstitial O underpin performance |
| α-MoC (FCC) [ | carbon cycle | dynamic carbon flux; Bulk-surface-gas exchange of carbon; lattice carbon participation than pure surface dissociation. |
| α-MoC with MoOxCy [ | carbon cycle (Vacancy mediated) | distinct from classic redox/associative mechanism; CO2-derived C inserts into Mo-Mo vacancies on MoOxCy, forms CO, and the vacancy regenerates by abstracting carbidic C. |
| In-situ carburized HxMoOy→MoC [ | activation-driven | CO induced in situ carburization under RWGS; very high CO productivity rate |
