Background; In recent years, nanoparticles have been increasingly used in industries. However, there is a serious lack of information concerning their impact on human health and the environment. This study was investigated the effect of MoO3 NPs on thyroid hormones in female rats. Methods; In this study, 21 female Wistar rats were selected and divided into three groups of untreated control, sh...

The removal of the hazardous heavy metal Cr(VI) in water and simultaneous production acetate from reduction inorganic carbon (HCO3−) is demonstrated a photo-assisted microbial electrosynthesis (MES) system incorporating WO3/MoO3/g-C3N4 Z-scheme heterojunctions Serratia marcescens Q1 electrotroph cathode. rates (6.1 ± 0.3 mg/L/h) (4.5 0.1 recorded at circuital current 2.8 A/m2 were 2.4-fold (ace...

Exploring new nanowaveguide materials and structures is of great scientific interest and technological significance for optical and photonic applications. In this work, high-quality single-crystal MoO3 nanoribbons (NRs) are synthesized and used for optical guiding. External light sources are efficiently launched into the single MoO3 NRs using silica fiber tapers. It is found that single MoO3 NR...

We have explored the fabrication of indium-free electrodes for use in a PCDTBT:PC70BM organic photovoltaic (OPV) device, and compare different multilayer electrodes as the device anode. Two oxide/ metal/oxide structures were investigated that consisted of MoO3/Ag/MoO3 (MAM) and TeO2/Ag/MoO3 (TAM) multilayers. Using scanning electron microscopy measurements, we find that the electrode utilising ...

Nanorod-like TiO2 (nc-TiO2) and MoO3 (nc-MoO3) films were thermally grown from Tiand Mo-metallic wafers. Nanohybrid films of N,N’-diphenyl-N,N’-bis(1-naphthyl)(1,1’-biphenyl)-4,4’diamine (NPB)/TiO2 and NPB/MoO3 used as anode/hole transport layer (HTL) heterojunctions in blue organic light emission diodes (OLEDs) were prepared by coating NPB onto the nc-TiO2 and nc-MoO3 and TiO2. Characterizatio...

The electronic structure and bonding at different oxygen sites of MoO3(0 1 0) and (1 0 0) surfaces is reviewed on the basis of ab initio density functional theory (DFT-LCGTO) cluster calculations. The clusters are chosen as ®nite sections of the ideal MoO3 surface where cluster embedding is achieved by bond saturation with hydrogen terminator atoms yielding clusters up to Mo7O30H18. Resulting c...

The effects of MoOx structure on propane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) rates and selectivity were examined on Al2O3-supported MoOx catalysts with a wide range of surface density (0.4-12 Mo/nm), and compared with those obtained on MoOx/ZrO2. On MoOx/Al2O3 catalysts, propane turnover rate increased with increasing Mo surface density and reached a maximum value for samples with ~ 4.5 Mo/nm. All ...

A simply and facilely synthesized MoO3 solution was developed to fabricate charge injection layers for improving the charge-injection properties in p-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). By dissolving MoO3 powder in ammonium (NH3) solvent under air atmosphere, an intermediate ammonium molybdate ((NH4)2MoO4) precursor is made stable, transparent and to be spin-coated to form the MoO3 i...

In an electronic device based on two dimensional (2D) transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), finding a low resistance metal contact is critical in order to achieve the desired performance. However, due to the unusual Fermi level pinning in metal/2D TMD interface, the performance is limited. Here, we investigate the electronic properties of TMDs and transition metal oxide (TMO) interfaces (M...

MoO2 hollow microspheres with tunable inner space have been synthesized through a hydrothermal process using MoO3 microbelts instead of bulk MoO3 as the precursor. It is found that the reactant morphology has a great impact on the product morphology and the inner space can be tuned by changing the amount of NaOH aqueous solution. An interesting evolutional process from MoO3 microbelts through a...
