Water-Gas Shift (WGS) reaction kinetics over molybdenum carbide (Mo₂C) and various transition metals supported on Mo₂C were measured. The adsorption strength of CO over the admetal was identified as a descriptor for WGS over Metal/Mo₂C. The location of the active sites for WGS is the admetal surface or admetal-Mo₂C interface.
