The “FeMo cofactors” in biological nitrogenase play a decisive role in nitrogen reduction. Herein, a novel bionic Fe/Mo bimetallene was applied in photocatalytic nitrogen reduction. The surface coating Fe/Mo bimetallene of Bi 2 Mo 0.3 W 0.7 O 6 (BMWO) nanocrystals could effectively promote the separation and transportation of photogenerated carriers by multi–electron redox reactions and deliver 2.8 times longer photo–carrier lifetime. Consequently, the nitrogen fixation activity of Fe/Mo bimetallene–coated BMWO nanocrystal photocatalyst was obviously enhanced (218.93 μmol g –1 h −1 ), which was about 4.8 times that of unmodified BMWO nanocrystals. This work provides a novel approach to design bionic Fe/Mo bimetallene–modified inorganic semiconductor photocatalysts for nitrogen reduction.

Water electrolysis is a promising path to the industrialization development of hydrogen energy. The exploitation of high-efficiency and inexpensive catalysts become important to the mass use of water decomposition. Ni-based nanomaterials have exhibited great potential for the catalysis of water splitting, which have attracted the attention of researchers around the world. Here, we prepared a novel Mo-doped NiFe-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) with a nanoarray microstructure on Ni foam. The doping amount of Mo can significantly change the microstructure of the electrocatalysis, which will further affect the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of water splitting. This novel nanomaterial required only an overpotential of 227 mV for 10 mA cm−2and a Tafel slope of 54.8 mV/dec in 1 M KOH. Meanwhile, there was no Mo, and the NiFe-LDH needed 233 mV to attain to 10 mA cm−2. Compared to the NiFe-LDH without Mo, the NiFeMo-LDH nanosheet arrays exhibited enhanced activities with 17.1 mV/dec less Tafel in OER. The good performance of the electrocatalyst is ascribed to the special nanosheet arrays and the heterostructure of the Ni-Fe-Mo system. These features help to increase the active surface, enhancing the efficient charge transfer and the reactive activity in OER.

A series of the layered double oxides supported molybdenum oxide catalysts were synthesized and evaluated in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with CO2(CO2-ODHE). The 22.3 wt% Mo/LDO catalyst delivered a 92.3%selectivity to ethylene and a 7.9% ethane conversion at relatively low temperatures. The molybdenum oxide catalysts were fully characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, UV–vis, Raman TG, and XPS. Isolated [MoO4]2−dominated on the surface of the fresh 12.5 wt% Mo/LDO catalyst. With the increase of the Mo content, the Mo species transformed from [MoO4]2−to [Mo7O24]6−and [Mo8O26]4−on the 22.3 wt% and 30.1 wt% Mo/LDO catalysts, respectively. The redox mechanism was proposed and three Mo species including [MoO4]2−, [Mo7O24]6−, and [Mo8O26]4−showed quite different functions in the CO2-ODHE reaction: [MoO4]2−, with tetrahedral structure, preferred the non-selective pathway; [Mo7O24]6−, with an octahedral construction, promoted the selective pathway; and the existence of [Mo8O26]4−reduced the ability to activate ethane. This work provides detailed insights to further understand the relationship between structure–activity and the role of surface Mo species as well as their aggregation state in CO2-ODHE.Keywords:ethane;oxidative dehydrogenation;molybdenum oxide;CO2;Mo/LDO catalyst

Supercapacitors have the advantages of high power density, rapid charge and discharge rates, and extended cycling stability. However, their energy density and specific capacity are still inadequate to satisfy the current requirements for energy storage in the industry. The current work demonstrates the synthesis of Mo-ZIF-67/CNT composites through mechanical stirring and co-precipitation. After that, Ni, Co and Mo trimetallic sulfide/CNT composites (Ni-Co-Mo-S/CNT) are produced through further ion exchange/etching and vulcanization processes . The material has multiple valence states of three different metal ions, providing a large number of oxidation-reduction sites. The doping of CNT endows it with a unique coral-like structure, which helps to form its huge specific surface area and larger mesopores. Furthermore, the effect of vulcanization temperature on the electrochemical performance of the material is also studied. According to the results, the Ni-Co-Mo-S/CNT-180, which is vulcanized at 180 °C, exhibits the most outstanding electrochemical performance. The electrode exhibits impressive performance with a specific capacitance of 1728.6 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g. It also has good rate capability, maintaining 55.8 % of the specific capacitance when the current density increases tenfold. Finally, the prepared Ni-Co-Mo-S/CNT-180//AC asymmetric supercapacitor generated a high energy density of 43 Wh/kg at a power density of 735 W/kg. After 2000 charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 1 A/g, it maintains a capacity of 76.42 %. This study serves as a reference for researching multi-metal sulfides as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Nanocrystalline Ni–Mo and Ni–Mo–ZrO 2 coatings were designed and successfully fabricated via electrodeposition process in direct current mode. Impacts of molybdate and ZrO 2 nanoparticles , cathodic current density ( i c ) on surface, structure and performance of Ni–Mo alloy were analyzed. Electrochemical behaviors were evaluated by electrochemical impedance method in sodium chloride solution. A more compact and consistent surface morphology was prepared by introducing molybdate in nickel. Grain sizes of Ni–Mo alloy decreased as molybdate increased from 2 to 6 g L −1 , and enlarged as i c increased. After incorporation of ZrO 2 , the grains initially decreased to 12 nm and later increased to 18 nm. The structure of the deposit is a face-centered cubic phase. With the increase of molybdate content, the preferential Ni (220) crystal plane was changed to oriented (111) plane. The Ni–Mo alloy comprises 91 wt% Ni and 5.4 wt% Mo. R a of Ni–Mo–ZrO 2 was 73 ± 4 nm. Ni–Mo alloys obtained at 20 mA cm −2 and 2 g L −1 molybdate possess the best corrosion-resistant behavior. Incorporation of ZrO 2 can strengthen electrochemical stability and anti-wear behavior of Ni–Mo alloy. The inclusion of ZrO 2 refined the grain size from 18 to 12 nm. The Ni–Mo/ZrO 2 coatings electrodeposited under 2–4 g L −1 Na 2 MoO 4 ·2H 2 O, 20–40 mA cm −2 , 10–15 g L −1 ZrO 2 have excellent wear and corrosion resistance.

Maximizing ultrafast electron-transfer kinetics in semiconductor is pivotal but challenging for high-efficiency solar-to-energy during the photocatalytic reaction process due to the intrinsic property of photocatalysts with low surface electron density. Herein, a model photocatalyst CdS@Mo is synthesized through a typical hydrothermal method for modulating the ultrafast electron-transfer to enhance the surface electron density. X-ray absorption fine spectra (XAFS) reveal that Mo is coordinated with S atoms to form a Mo-S 6 configuration which is different from common MoS 2 and Mo foil structures. Based on the femtosecond transient absorption spectra (fs-TAS), it is found that the formation of Mo-S 6 configuration contributes to the fast decay of CdS signal and Mo-S 6 signal reactivation, illustrating the ultrafast electron-transfer (∼2.2 ps) from CdS to Mo-S 6 configuration, which achieves the enhanced electron density of photocatalyst surface. Finally, a holistic photocatalytic performance evaluation discloses that the growing of Mo-S 6 configuration obviously improves the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) efficiency of CdS from 28.5 to 47.5 mmol g –1 h –1 with a solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 0.10 % which is seldomly discussed in the system containing sacrificial agents. This work opens a new path to modulate the surface electron density by tuning the ultrafast electron-transfer for enhancing reaction efficiency in electron-density-dependent systems.

xMo/TiO2 catalysts (x = 1, 2, 3, and 4%) were prepared using the coprecipitation method in the present study. The coprecipitation method was used in the thermal catalytic decomposition of H2O2 steam to treat NOx at a low temperature range (80–160 °C). Several characterization techniques have been employed, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM–EDXS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The activity tests showed that the incorporation of molybdenum into TiO2 led to a significant increase in the catalytic oxidation of NO, and under the condition of H2O2/NO = 6:1 (molar ratio), the NOx removal rate of 2% Mo/TiO2 is the highest, reaching 92.56%. XRD, TEM, and SEM–EDXS analyses showed that Mo was well dispersed on the surface of an anatase-phase TiO2. XPS analysis indicated that Mo mixed with slag mainly existed in the form of Mo6+. Moreover, in comparison with the mostly reported SCO catalysts, used for the elimination of NO, the prepared Mo/TiO2 catalyst showed excellent stability and sulfur resistance.

Simple high-temperature calcination and hydrothermal methods were followed to synthesize CeO 2 and Mo-S, respectively. The efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity exhibited by the composite catalysts can be attributed to the edge active sites in Mo-S. The Mo-O bonds formed between CeO 2 and Mo-S could further accelerate the processes of separation and migration of electrons between the catalyst interfaces. The hybrid catalyst 10%-CeO 2 /Mo-S exhibiting the best hydrogen generation ability (4.3 mmol h −1 g −1 ) was obtained by optimizing the content of CeO 2 in CeO 2 /Mo-S. Analysis of the PL spectral profile and photocurrent response recorded for the system revealed that 10%-COMS exhibited excellent photogenerated carrier separation ability. Analysis of the LSV and EIS curves revealed that 10%-COMS exhibited the optimal hydrogen production potential. The charge migration resistance provided by the systems was lower than the charge migration resistance provided by CeO 2 and Mo-S. The synergism between the S-scheme heterojunctions and the Mo-O bonds helped accelerate the separation and migration of photo-induced carriers at the catalyst interfaces. The introduction of covalent bonds in the S-scheme heterojunctions and the results presented herein can potentially help develop a new method to realize photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Metal oxide semiconductor photocatalysts have received remarkable consideration as a promising technology for environmental remediation and energy conversion. Oxysulfide semiconductors have narrow band gaps which are appropriate for photocatalytic removal of toxic organic pollutants under visible light illumination. For the elimination purpose of these pollutants, Mo(O,S) 2 , Mn(O,S) 2 , and Mn–Mo(O,S) 2 oxysulfide catalysts containing various Mn contents were synthesized at low temperatures via a simple method. The structural, morphological, electrochemical, compositional, and optical properties of the as-synthesized catalysts were exhaustively characterized. The photocatalytic degradation activity of the bares Mo(O,S) 2 , Mn(O,S) 2 , and other Mn–Mo(O,S) 2 compositions were evaluated over different types of organic pollutants under visible light illumination. The addition of Mn in Mo(O,S) 2 structure improved the photodegradation activity, and Mn–Mo(O,S) 2 -30 was found to be the best composition with superior photodegradation performance towards the four cationic, anionic, and neutral dyes. The degradation efficiency of 10 ppm of MB, and MO dyes reach 99.7 % and 98.6 %, within 30 and 120 min, respectively. Mn–Mo(O,S) 2 -30 catalyst also shows a good photodegradation performance on Rh B and NR organic pollutants. According to the recycling test, the catalyst exhibited excellent performance. The photodegradation follows pseudo-first order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.097 and 0.036 min −1 for MB and MO dyes, respectively. The trapping experiment showed that superoxide anion radicals (O 2 •- ) and holes (h + ) are the responsible active species for the degradation on MO and MB, respectively. The novelty of using Mn–Mo(O,S) 2 -30 for various dyes degradation lies in its remarkable catalytic properties.

To improve the photocatalytic performance of g-C 3 N 4 (CN), mechanical activation (MA) treatment of precursor followed by calcination was developed to construct a N−Mo−O bond bridged MoO 2 /Mo-doped CN (MA-MoO 2 /Mo-CN) Schottky heterojunction composite, which was used as a visible light-driven photocatalyst for degrading tetracycline (TC). The as-prepared MA-MoO 2 /Mo-CN with strong interfacial interaction showed excellent photocatalytic performance and structural stability, with 92.3% of TC degradation efficiency within 90 min and maintaining over 90% of degradation efficiency after five consecutive cycles. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be ascribed to that MA treatment induced the improvement of surface area and the formation of N vacancies and N−Mo−O bonds, which served as a bridge to connect Mo-CN and MoO 2 for constructing a Schottky barrier. These provided more reactive sites and effectively enhanced migration efficiency of interface electrons, separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and light absorption capacity. In addition, the mechanism of photocatalytic degradation of TC and its possible degradation pathway were investigated. This research provides an environmentally friendly and feasible method for producing highly active precious metal-free photocatalysts with excellent migration and separation efficiency of photoexcited charge carriers.

Green hydrogen is considered to be the key for solving the emerging energy and environmental issues. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) process for the production of green hydrogen has been widely investigated because solar power is clean and renewable. However, mass production in this way is still far away from reality. Here, a Si photoanode is reported with CoO x as co-catalyst for efficient water oxidation. It is found that a high photovoltage of 350 mV can be achieved in 1.0 m K 3 BO 3 . Importantly, the photovoltage can be further increased to 650 mV and the fill factor of 0.62 is obtained in 1.0 m K 3 BO 3 by incorporating Mo into CoO x . The Mo-incorporated photoanode is also highly stable. It is shown that the incorporation of Mo can reduce the particle size of co-catalyst on the Si surface, improve the particle-distribution uniformity, and increase the density of particles, which can effectively enhance the light absorption and the electrochemical active surface area. Importantly, the Mo-incorporation results in high energy barrier in the heterojunction. All of these factors are attributed to improved the PEC performance. These findings may provide new strategies to maximize the solar-to-fuel efficiency by tuning the co-catalysts on the Si surface.

It is well known that the metal atoms of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) exhibit significant activity in gas sensing. However, limited by the shielding effect of the outer oxygen atom layer, layered MoO 3 is often difficult to show ideal gas adsorption activity. Hence, the MoO 3 microporous nanoflowers (MPNFs) assembled by porous two-dimensional nanosheets were successfully synthesized and exhibited excellent gas sensing performance to H 2 S, and the response was 7.2 times higher than that of simple MoO 3 nanosheets. The abundant pores of MoO 3 MPNFs were due to the influence of the crystal cell shrinkage effect on the atomic arrangement, while the significantly enhanced gas sensing performance was attributed to the positive effect of the microporous structure on gas diffusion and the exposed edge Mo atoms. This was confirmed by DFT calculation results that, compared to the Mo atoms on the surface of MoO 3 nanosheets, the Mo atoms around the pores were exposed because they broke through the shielding effect of the oxygen atom layer and exhibited higher adsorption activity for H 2 S and O 2 molecules. Therefore, this work can shed a light on the design of high-performance gas sensors based on metal oxides .
