A manufacturing method of a carbide includes steps as follows. A carbon source is provided, a contacting step, a heating step and an electrochemical step are performed. The carbon source includes an amorphous carbon and a compound. The compound is a chalcogen compound, a pnictide compound, a halide, a hydroxide or a salt of a metal or a metalloid. In the contacting step, the carbon source is disposed in an alkaline earth metal halide to form a reactant. In the heating step, the reactant is heated to form a heated reactant. In the electrochemical step, a current is applied to the heated reactant, wherein the current passes through the carbon source, so as to make the alkaline earth metal halide, the amorphous carbon and the compound react with one another to form a carbide of the metal or the metalloid.
