A nanocomposite (NC) of titanium (IV) oxide (TiO2) and molybdenum (VI) (MoO3) was synthesized using a hydrothermal route. Detailed analyses transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, fluorescence (XRF), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) isotherms, photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy were carried out confirmed the successful formati...

Control of light transmittance is important for optoelectronic devices such as smart windows and switchable photodetectors. In particular, that infrared can be used tuning thermal flows through windows. Plasmonic compound nanomaterials are suitable those because their electrochemically tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). We combined CuS nanoplates with MoO3 nanosheets developing...

This paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. For more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...

Molybdenum oxide (5 to 20 wt.%) supported on calcium or strontium hydroxyapatite were investigated as catalysts for selective oxidation of methanol formaldehyde. These both active and selective, with a maximum yield achieved at 95 % conversion 96 selectivity. The main byproducts CO (3.2 %) dimethyl ether (DME, 0.7 %). catalytic performance the was measured up 600 h 350 °C. Compared an industria...

Semiconducting oxides with reducible cations are ideal platforms for various functional applications in nanoelectronics and catalysts. Here we report an ultrathin monolayer alpha-MoO3 where tunable electronic properties different gas adsorbing behaviors upon introducing the oxygen vacancies (VO). The unique property of is that it contains three types atoms occupying Wyckoff sites absent other l...

Car cabin air quality monitoring can effectively he analysed using metal oxide semiconducting (MOS) gas sensors. In this paper, commercially available gas sensors are compared with fabricated Mo03-Ti02 and Moo3WO3 thin films. The laboratory tests showed that the Moo3 based sensors possessed comparable gas sensing properties. The Mo03(75%)-Ti02(25%) sensor has a response 74% higher relative to t...
