Molybdenum carbide, which is expected to be as a low cost catalyst similar to platinum, is formed by high temperature reactions of molybdenum and carbon at higher than 2000 K. In this study, the structural dynamics of the high temperature formation using laser heating was in situ observed by transmission electron microscopy.
