Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, transition metal carbides are expected to play a crucial role in catalysis, energy storage, and electrochemistry. In this study, a vacancy-rich carbon-coated niobium carbide material (NbC@C) was prepared via a simple and relatively milder carbothermic reduction method, sourced from niobium tartrate and sustainable biomass derivatives, glucose, and resorcinol. The formation mechanism of NbC@C materials was proposed with the help of XRD and temperature-programmed decomposition-mass spectrometer. Moreover, high activity for epoxidation of cyclooctene was obtained over the NbC@C material with an impressive yield (93.7%) of epoxycyclooctane, which was much higher than that over commercial NbC-C. The excellent catalytic performance of NbC@C can be ascribed to the high concentration of vacancies generated during the carbothermic reduction process.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
