Background Metals are considered a suitable anode material for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) because of their high electrical conductivity. However, only a few types of metals have been used as anodes, and an extensive screening of metals has not yet been conducted. In this study, to develop a new metal anode for increased electricity generation in MFCs, 14 different metals (Al, Ti, Fe, Ni, Cu, Z...

Recent research interest in two-dimensional (2D) materials has led to an emerging new group of materials known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which have significant electrical, optical, and transport properties. MoS2 is one of the well-known 2D materials in this group, which is a semiconductor with controllable band gap based on its structure. The hydrothermal process is known as o...

Previously, arsenic trioxide showed impressive regression rates of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Here, we investigated molecular determinants of sensitivity and resistance of cell lines of different tumor types towards arsenic trioxide. Arsenic trioxide was the most cytotoxic compound among 8 arsenicals investigated in the NCI cell line panel. We correlated transcriptome-wide microarray-based m...

Abstract Although molybdenum trioxide nanomaterials have been widely explored as nanoagents for biomedical applications against bacteria through photothermal therapy, chemodynamic and catalytic their utilization photosensitizers photodynamic therapy (PDT) rarely reported so far. Herein, we report the activation of MoO 3 nanobelts via aqueous co‐intercalation Na + H 2 O into van der Waals gaps a...

In chemical vapor deposition (CVD), homogeneous molybdenum concentration is important in synthesizing uniform thickness and large coverage of two-dimensional disulfide (2D-MoS2) films. Here, we synthesize few-layer MoS2 films with adequate over 50 mm2 size area using ultra-low trioxide (MoO3) precursor placed directly under a face-down silicon dioxide/silicon (SiO2/Si) substrate one-step heatin...

Intermetallic (aluminum and zirconium) thermite molybdenum trioxide) projectiles were launched using a high velocity impact ignition testing system. The experiments designed to simulate reactivity in (argon) low (air) altitude environments. into chamber that included steel target plate for projectile penetration before impacting rear witness plate. was semi-sealed instrumented quasi-static pres...

The effects of MoOx structure on propane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) rates and selectivity were examined on Al2O3supported molybdenum oxide catalysts with a wide range of Mo surface density (0.4–12 Mo/nm2). X-ray diffraction and Raman, UV-visible, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies showed that the structure of dispersed molybdena depends strongly on the Mo surface density. Two-dimensional ...

Atomic force microscopy was used to characterize the nanometerscale structural evolution of the MoO3 (010) surface during reaction with hydrogen at 400◦C. Two primary surface modifications were identified. First, water vapor, when present in the reactor either as an impurity or as an oxidation product, accelerates the volatilization of MoO3 and leads to the formation of surface voids. The prese...

In order to make fast-charging batteries a reality for electric vehicles, durable, more energy dense and high-current density resistant anodes need to be developed. With such purpose, a low lithiation potential of 0.2 V vs. Li/Li(+) for MoO3 nanoplatelet arrays is reported here for anodes in a lithium ion battery. The composite material here presented affords elevated charge capacity while at t...
