- This investigation benchmarked the activities of nine non-precious metal catalysts (NPMCs) synthesised and analysed using the salt-flux synthetic method. The pioneering salt-flux synthesis method reported in this article has been adopted widely to substantially reduce the synthesis temperatures of ceramic materials. The report was published at the early stage of exploration into NPMCs to replace platinum in energy conversion devices. The article was thus designated ‘2015 Hot Papers’ by the journal and has been highly cited since. Transition metal carbides investigated in this report are one of the leading alternative NPMCs to platinum catalysts along with sulphides and phosphides.
