Herein, we report the synthesis of a new type of porous Mo 2 C/C composite by using luffa sponge-derived carbon template and ammonium molybdate ((NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 •4H 2 O) in molten NaCl–KCl salt media. The product exhibits a higher specific surface area and three-dimensional porous structure, including macrochannels, micropores and mesopores. The desirable porous structure results from the carbon template structure and Mo 2 C coating formed.
