METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING TUNGSTEN CARBIDE NANORODS AND CATALYSTS FORMED THEREWITH

摘要

A method of synthesizing tungsten carbide nanorods, the method comprising: mixing tungsten oxide (WO₃) nanorods with a carbon source to obtain precursors; and calcining the precursors to obtain tungsten carbide nanorods, without use of any catalyst. A catalyst of metal nanostructures supported on tungsten carbide nanorods.
