Although various catalysts exhibit selective activity for FA decomposition, no active phase has been reported to be effective for both simultaneously. In this work, the FA decompositions over the bulk γ-Mo2N and the nitrogen-doped carbon (NC)-supported γ-Mo2N catalysts were investigated in detail. It is found that both catalysts showed obvious activity at low temperatures (100-200 °C). Interestingly, the reaction pathway was almost completely transformed from the selective dehydration over the bulk γ-Mo2N to the selective dehydrogenation over the NC-supported γ-Mo2N. Moreover, stable FA decomposition performances were observed with these two catalysts during the 45 h tests. The apparent transformation of the decomposition pathway could be ascribed to the acid-base properties of catalysts with different exposure facets. That is, the dehydration was favored by the acidic bulk γ-Mo2N with a preferential exposure facet of (111), whereas the dehydrogenation was benefited from the strong basic property of the NC-supported γ-Mo2N catalyst with the favorable exposed plane of (200).
