Data from: Facile synthesis of porous Mo2C/C composites by using luffa sponge-derived carbon template in molten salt media

Herein, we report the synthesis of a new type of porous Mo2C/C composite by using luffa sponge-derived carbon template, and ammonium molybdate ((NH4)6Mo7O24•4H2O) in the molten NaCl-KCl salts media. The product exhibits a higher specific surface area and three-dimensional porous structure, including macrochannels, micropores, and mesopores. The desirable porous structure is resulted from the carbon template structure and formed Mo2C coating.
