Nanostructured molybdenum carbides supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Mo2C/CNTs) with different loadings were prepared by carbothermal hydrogen reduction method and characterized with SEM, Raman, HAADF-STEM and XRD. Raman spectra showed that the specific G-band structure of carbon nanotubes promoted the formation of molybdenum carbide at lower temperatures. Compared with noble metals, molybdenum carbide exhibited better catalytic activity and resistance to leaching. The Mo2C/CNTs catalyst also showed high activity and selectivity for one-step conversion of vegetable oils into branched diesel-like hydrocarbons, which provided a promising approach to prepare high-grade diesel fuels from renewable resources.
