Molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ) has been widely studied in the energy storage field due to its various phase states and unique structural advantages. Among them, lamellar α -phase MoO 3 ( α -MoO 3 ) and tunnel-like h -phase MoO 3 ( h- MoO 3 ) have attracted much attention. In this study, we demonstrate that vanadate ion (VO 3 - ) can transform α -MoO 3 (a thermodynamically stable phase) to h -MoO 3 (a metastable phase) by altering the connection of [MoO 6 ] octahedra configurations. h -MoO 3 with VO 3 - inserted (referred to as h -MoO 3 -V) as the cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) exhibits excellent Zn 2+ storage performances. The improvement in electrochemical properties is attributed to the open tunneling structure of the h -MoO 3 -V, which offers more active sites for Zn 2+ (de)intercalation and diffusion. As expected, the Zn// h -MoO 3 -V battery delivers specific capacity of 250 mAh·g −1 at 0.1 A·g −1 and rate capability (73% retention from 0.1 to 1 A·g −1 , 80 cycles), well exceeding those of Zn// h -MoO 3 and Zn// α -MoO 3 batteries. This study demonstrates that the tunneling structure of h -MoO 3 can be modulated by VO 3 - to enhance the electrochemical properties for AZIBs. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights for the synthesis, development and future applications of h -MoO 3 .

The release of ammonia (NH 3 ) in industry or daily life is harmful to human health. A gas sensor was developed using h -MoO 3 nanorods and graphene film to detect and eliminate this. The h -MoO 3 nanorods were first synthesized by chemical bath deposition using ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate (NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 •4H 2 O and HNO 3 and then deposited on the graphene film transferred to SiO 2 /Si substrate by electrochemical bubbling method. Subsequently, gas-sensitive h -MoO 3 @Graphene composite films were prepared and analyzed using Raman, XRD, SEM, and UV–vis. The gas sensor's performance was evaluated to detect NH 3 at a room temperature concentration range of 1–60 ppm. Compared with graphene, the conductivity of the composite film with 10 mg/ml h -MoO 3 nanorods was increased by 40 % and the sensitivity increased by 10 times. The sensor h -MoO 3 @G-10 showed the best sensing performance to 1 ppm NH 3 . Sensor sensitivity, response and recovery time are 1.1 %, 46.8 s and 17.8 s.

A highly solar active AgBr/h-MoO 3 composite was constructed by a facile precipitation method, and the charge separation tuning was achieved by photoreduction of AgBr. The photoreduced Ag 0 on AgBr/h-MoO 3 acted as charge transfer bridge to form Z-scheme heterostructure, while the high degree of Ag reduction converted the material into type-II heterostructure. The synthesized optimal material promoted charge separation and visible light activity due to the incorporation of highly solar active AgBr, which showed ca. 2 times activity on trimethoprim (TMP) degradation than h-MoO 3 . The contribution of reactive species on TMP degradation followed the order of O 2 − > 1 O 2 > h + , which agree well with the proposed charge separation mechanism. The photocatalytic degradation mechanism of TMP was proposed based on the radical quenching, intermediate analysis and DFT calculation. The toxicity analysis based on QSAR calculation showed that part of the degradation intermediates are more toxic than TMP, thus sufficient mineralization are required to eliminate the potential risks of treated water. Moreover, the material showed high stability and activity after four reusing cycles, and it is applicable to treat contaminants in various water matrix. This work is expected to provide new insight into the charge separation tuning mechanism for the AgX based heterojunction , and rational design of highly efficient photocatalysts for organic contaminants degradation by solar irradiation.

In this study, we prepared a novel coating composed of hexagonal molybdenum oxide (h-MoO3) nanofiller and waterborne epoxy resin (WEP) to provide corrosion protection. We optimized the h-MoO3nanorod synthesis methodology first by changing different parameters (pH, temperature, etc.). Furthermore, the as-prepared h-MoO3rods were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Finally, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test results verified that the anticorrosive performance of the composite coatings was improved by incorporation of low content of MoO3nanofiller (0.5 wt.%) compared to pure WEP sample. This developed composite will provide a new insight for the design and fabrication of one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterial (e.g., nanorod) reinforced epoxy coating and other polymeric coating processes.Keywords:waterborne epoxy;molybdenum trioxide nanorod;composites

A novel hollow-structured thermite, n-Al/H-MoO 3 , is designed to enhance the energy release mode and combustion performance of solid propellant. This research comprehensively explores the preparation and structural features of n-Al/H-MoO 3 within solid propellants. Furthermore, a series of rigorous combustion tests, performance assessments, and computational simulations are conducted to investigate its practical application. Experimental results indicate that the significant improvements in combustion performance have been observed by integrating this innovation n-Al/H-MoO 3 in solid propellants as a burning rate modifier. The heat of explosion increases to 6135 J·g −1 , a 41.76 % increase over the blank group (M0). Furthermore, its flame temperature is 494.3°C higher than that of the blank group. These substantial gains are primarily attributed to the unique hollow structure of n-Al/H-MoO 3 , which facilitates the reaction between H-MoO 3 and Al in the gaseous phase region, thereby improving combustion dynamics. The research findings offer theoretical foundations and experimental support for the design of more efficient and stable propellants.

Currently, photocatalytic degradation is a fascinating technology due to its capability to treat escalating environmental problems by degrading chemicals like dyes and pharmaceuticals from wastewater. Herein, the hexagonal prism GQDs/h-MoO 3 composite photocatalyst was fabricated through a facile hydrothermal approach. The synthesized samples were identified by XRD , SEM, FT-IR, XPS , UV-Vis DRS , and PL technologies to study the crystal structure, morphology, surface chemical composition , and optical properties . The preparation circumstances of binary compounds, such as different GQDs (Graphene quantum dots) loading amounts, precursor solution pH, hydrothermal temperature, and hydrothermal time were optimized, also, and the photocatalytic activity of materials is determined by photodegradation of Methylene Blue in this approach, which systematically investigated the impact of operational conditions on the efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction. The results revealed that 10GQDs/h-MoO 3 has the best photocatalytic performance among competitors, which exhibited a high photodegradation efficiency (85.58%) of MB, and the rate was approximately 2.13 times greater than pristine h-MoO 3 . Moreover, the PL and EIS measurements proved the outstanding separation and migration ability of the photo-excited carriers of composite, which was attributable to the fact that GQDs can serve as electron transporters and acceptors to induce electron-hole separation efficiently. Finally, the free radical scavenging experiments confirmed that the primary active species was h + in the photocatalytic process, as well as a potential explanation for the improved photocatalytic activity of GQDs/h-MoO 3 photocatalysts was proposed.
