        abstract = {Rational design and synthesis of cheap, noble metal-free, thermal/hydrothermal stable and active catalyst for
efficient hydrogenation and hydrogen production reaction is crucial towards renewable and sustainable energy
generation. This gives the use of molybdenum carbide nanoparticle considerable attention as an alternative to
noble metals. However, the industrial application is not yet feasible due to insufficient stability and activity
coupled with the lack of detailed understanding of the reaction mechanism. This work discusses the effect of the
operating parameters on the properties and morphology of molybdenum carbide nanoparticle, as well as their
impact on the catalytic activity. Critical issues such as structural diversity, surface properties, and multiscale
reaction modeling are also discussed for better understanding of the reaction mechanism. This is a promising
strategy towards synthesis of cost-effective and efficient catalysts for renewable and sustainable energy production.},
