In this work, we report the synthesis of MoO2 nanoparticles grown on three dimensional graphene (3DG) via the reduction of α-MoO3 nanobelts through a facile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach under argon protection gas environment. In this synthesis approach, the presence of hydrophobic 3DG promoted the Volmer-Weber growth of MoO2 nanoparticles (30-60 nm). The as-prepared MoO2-3DG nanocom...

group viii b metal oxides supported on gamma-alumina were investigated as catalysts and promoters of moo3 hydrodesulfurization catalysis. superior promotion was observed in pbo promoted catalyst compared to that of coo, the typically accepted promoter. other metal oxides, sno and ho2o3 exhibited reasonable hydrodesulfurization catalysis promotion but lower than for coo promoted catalyst.

Group VIII B metal oxides supported on gamma-alumina were investigated as catalysts and promoters of MoO3 hydrodesulfurization catalysis. Superior promotion was observed in PbO promoted catalyst compared to that of CoO, the typically accepted promoter. Other metal oxides, SnO and Ho2O3 exhibited reasonable hydrodesulfurization catalysis promotion but lower than for CoO promoted catalyst.

A new titanium/molybdenum/mixed-oxides (TMO) contact-type heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared by a simple, low-cost, and environmentally-friendly mixing-calcination solid-state method. microstructural investigation scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showsirregularly shaped agglomerated morphology of TMO that consists firmly connected globular TiO2 rod-like MoO3 particles. The detailed str...

Molybdenum oxide nanoparticles (NPs) with tunable plasmonic resonance in the near-infrared region display superior semiconducting features and photothermal properties, which are highly related to crystalline defective structures such as oxygen deficiencies. However, fundamental understanding on structure-function relationship between crystalline/defective properties is still unclear. To address...

High-quality large-area few-layer 1T' MoTe2 films with high homogeneity are synthesized by the controlled tellurization of MoO3 film. The Mo precursor plays a key role in determining the quality and morphology of the 1T' MoTe2 . Furthermore, the amount of Te strongly influences the phase of the MoTe2 . The growth method paves the way toward the scalable production of 1T' MoTe2 -based applications.

(REE,Y) phosphates were synthesized in a 1 atm furnace by ß ux-growth methods involving Pb-free ß uxes. Microcrystalline (REE,Y) phosphate was precipitated from a solution of (REE,Y) chlorides or nitrates plus ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and mixed with a M2CO3 (M = Li or Na)-MoO3 ß ux (75:25:2 molar ratio M2CO3:MoO3:REEPO4). Crystal growth was achieved over the temperature range 1350–870 °C,...
