To achieve organic solar cells with a broadened spectral absorption, we aim to promote the growth of the near-infrared (NIR)-active polymorph of lead phthalocyanine (PbPc) on a relevant electrode for solar cell applications. We studied the effect of different substrate modification layers on PbPc thin film structure as a function of thickness and deposition rate (rdep). We characterized crystal...

Atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction have been used to characterize the structural evolution of the MoO3(010) surface during gas phase reactions with nitrogen-alcohol (methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol) mixtures between 200 and 400◦C. Our results demonstrate that MoO3 intercalates H during these reactions (T≥ 300◦C) and that protonation leads to the precipitation of a well known hydrog...

Atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) layers have attracted great interest due to their direct-gap property and potential applications in optoelectronics and energy harvesting. Meanwhile, they are extremely bendable, promising for applications in flexible electronics. However, the synthetic approach to obtain large-area MoS(2) atomic thin layers is still lacking. Here we report that waf...

High Curie temperature ferromagnetism has been realized in atomically thin MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets. The ultrathin nanosheet samples were prepared via a novel, simple and efficient chemical vapor deposition method; different kinds of transition metal disulfides (MoS2 and WS2) could be obtained by sulphuring the corresponding cation sources (MoO3 and WCl6). Through related morphological and struc...

Sputtered films of reduced molybdenum oxide (MoOx) with a trioxide target in different pressures and atmospheres were deposited varying temperatures. Compositional, optic, electric characteristics the samples studied. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed states when working hydrogen + argon atmosphere implying that stoichiometry could be controlled by adding some sputtering chamber. The ef...

In this work, the fabrication and investigation of substituting higher-valence Mo6+ for Ti4+ ion on the B-site of La3+-doped Bi4Ti3O12 [BLT] structure to form Bi3.25La0.75(Ti1-xMox)3O12 [BLTM] (when x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 0.07, 0.09, and 0.10) ceramics were carried out. X-ray diffraction patterns of BLTM ceramics indicated an orthorhombic structure with lattice distortion, especially with a hi...

Cobalt sulfate hydrate, gallium arsenide, molybdenum trioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and nickel sulfate heptahydrate were tested in the Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) assay in order to increase the SHE assay database for heavy metals. All five compounds produced significant morphological transformation at one or more doses in a dose-responsive manner. Cobalt sulfate hydrate, gallium arsenide, molybd...

Abstract TiO 2 thin films modified with MoO 3 nanostructures were obtained by the spin coating technique. The precursors solutions prepared sol-gel technique adding colloids of Mo-based laser irradiation powders suspended in liquid media. It was found that layered form colloidal solutions. characterized X-Ray Photoelectron, Raman, Ultraviolet– Visible and PL Spectroscopies, Scanning Electron Mi...
