While platinum is widely used as a catalyst, its high cost and scarce reserves have created a need for the development of alternative materials. In this study, molybdenum carbide nanoparticles were synthesized by high-temperature and high-pressure treatment of organomolybdenum complexes, and their catalytic performance in the oxygen reduction reaction was evaluated. As a result, the nanoparticles showed higher performance than commercially available molybdenum carbide, but some issues remained when compared to platinum. Impurity formation and the fact that the nanoparticles were buried in the carbon matrix were considered to be contributing factors.
