BiVO 4 is largely restricted by its intrinsic poor electron mobility and sluggish surface reaction. Aiming at eliminating the deficiency of BiVO 4 , we assemble a novel composite photoanode through simultaneous bulk and surface modification. In detail, controllable Mo doping is manipulated through a spin-coating method, and AgVO 3 nanoparticles are loaded by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) process. The as-prepared photoanode boosts the photocurrent density by 7 folds at 1.23 V vs. RHE and moves the onset potential negatively by 387 mV compared to the bare BiVO 4 . Furthermore, the charge injection efficiency is substantially boosted to 49% at 1.23 V RHE , nearly 5 times as that of pure BiVO 4 . With detailed physical and electrochemical characterization, we reveal the essential reason for the boosted photoelectrochemical activity. Appropriate Mo doping can simultaneously enhance the carrier density and electron mobility of BiVO 4 . Specifically, more (0 4 0) facet are exposed for retarding charge recombination and increasing photocatalytic reaction sites. Then the simple SILAR process grows AgVO 3 nanoparticles homogeneously with uniform diameter of 3–5 nm on BiVO 4 , forming p-n heterojunction to accelerate charge separation, and abundant oxygen vacancy emerged on the surface, which has been demonstrated as active sites for water oxidation reaction.

Seeking an efficient and stable cocatalyst is of importance for semiconductor-based photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen. In this sense, Mo-activation of VC for better cocatalytic properties was proposed for the first time, aiming to attain improved hydrogen generation of CdS . Our novel, yet facile physical preparation method permits intimate coupling of Mo-activated VC cocatalyst to CdS (through electrostatic attraction force), thereby promises drastic activity enhancement for hydrogen generation. Results indicate the best VC-activating competency of Mo against other transition metals (Co, Fe, Ni, Zn and Cu), which induces highest H 2 productivity of CdS after modifying with Mo-activated VC. Under optimum setting, CdS/Mo(0.38)-VC(5 wt%) manifested highest photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 2267 μmol h −1 g −1 , associated to 300 % and 440 % improvement as compared to that of CdS/VC(5 wt%) and pure CdS, respectively. Such activity also outperformed those that yielded by MoS x - or noble metals(Pt, Au or Ag)-co-catalyzed CdS, attributed to the promoted interfacial charges transfer and lowered overpotential of CdS/Mo(0.38)-VC(5 wt%) in hydrogen generation. Correspondingly, high apparent hydrogen production quantum efficiency of 4.3 % was also recorded by the same photocatalyst at 420 nm. In term of stability test, CdS/Mo(0.38)-VC(5 wt%) manifested excellent longevity in 24 h continuous photoreaction and fair recyclability over five consecutive photoreaction cycles. This work provides a new insight to cocatalysts design and synthesis, thereby realizing economic alternatives to precious metal (Pt, Au, Ag) in solar-derived H 2 production.

Ceramic/metal composites, as high-temperature structural materials, have limited applications because of their poor machinability . AlN/Mo/Mo 2 B machinable composites were fabricated by adding h-BN to AlN/Mo composites by plasma-activated sintering at various temperatures and at an axial pressure of 30 MPa under argon atmosphere. The sample sintered at 1500 °C exhibited excellent machinability for cemented carbide tools, with a bending strength of approximately 500 MPa and a Vickers hardness value of 9.34 GPa. The effects of sintering temperature on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and machinability were investigated, and the reactions introduced by adding h-BN were studied. These reactions reinforced the composite and newly introduced a Mo 2 B phase, which showed better ability to deflect cracks and prevent them from moving deep inside the composite, thus improving its machinability. This research provides a possible solution for improving the machinability of ceramic/metal composites without sacrificing the strength .

Developing non-noble-metal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions with high activity and stability is the key issue in green hydrogen generation based on electrolytic water splitting. It has been recognized that the stacking of large CoP particles limits the intrinsic activity of as-synthesized CoP catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction. In the present study, N-MoxC/CoP-0.5 with excellent electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction was prepared using N-MoxC as decoration. A reasonable overpotential of 106 mV (at 10 mA cm−2) and a Tafel slope of 59 mV dec−1 in 1.0 M KOH solution was achieved with N-MoxC/CoP-0.5 electrocatalyst, which exhibits superior activity even after working for 37 h. Uniformly distributed ultrafine nanoclusters of the N-MoxC/CoP-0.5 hybrids could provide sufficient interfaces for enhanced charge transfer. The effective capacity of the hydrogen evolution reaction could be preserved in the complex, and the enlarged electrocatalytic surface area could be expected to offer more active sites for the reaction.

The oxide dispersion strengthened Mo alloys (ODS-Mo) prepared by traditional ball milling and subsequent sintering technique generally possess comparatively coarse Mo grains and large oxide particles at Mo grain boundaries (GBs), which obviously suppress the corresponding strengthening effect of oxide addition. In this work, the Y 2 O 3 and TiC particles were simultaneously doped into Mo alloys using ball-milling and subsequent low temperature sintering. Accompanied by TiC addition, the Mo−Y 2 O 3 grains are sharply refined from 3.12 to 1.36 µm. In particular, Y 2 O 3 and TiC can form smaller Y−Ti−O−C quaternary phase particles (∼230 nm) at Mo GBs compared to single Y 2 O 3 particles (∼120 nm), so as to these new formed Y−Ti−O−C particles can more effectively pin and hinder GBs movement. In addition to Y−Ti−O−C particles at GBs, Y 2 O 3 , TiO x , and TiC x nanoparticles (<100 nm) also exist within Mo grains, which is significantly different from traditional ODS-Mo. The appearance of TiO x phase indicates that some active Ti within TiC can adsorb oxygen impurities of Mo matrix to form a new strengthening phase, thus strengthening and purifying Mo matrix. Furthermore, the pure Mo, Mo−Y 2 O 3 , and Mo−Y 2 O 3 −TiC alloys have similar relative densities (97.4%–98.0%). More importantly, the Mo−Y 2 O 3 −TiC alloys exhibit higher hardness (HV 0.2 (425 ± 25)) compared to Mo−Y 2 O 3 alloys (HV 0.2 (370 ± 25)). This work could provide a relevant strategy for the preparation of ultrafine Mo alloys by facile ball-milling.

Photocatalysts with hollow structures have drawn great interest owing to their high specific surface area, which can enhance the photocatalytic performance. Herein, we designed the hollow cubic Cu2–xS@Ni–Mo–S nanocomposites by vulcanizing from the Cu2O template and loading the Ni–Mo–S lamellas. The Cu2–xS@Ni–Mo–S composites greatly improved the photocatalytic hydrogen performance. Among them, Cu2–xS–NiMo-5 achieved the optimal photocatalytic rate of 1326.07 μmol/g h, which is approximately 3.85 times higher than that of hollow Cu2–xS (344 μmol/g h) and had good stability for 16 h. The enhanced photocatalytic property was attributed to the metallic behavior of bimetallic Ni–Mo–S lamellas and the LSPR (localized surface plasmon resonance) effect of Cu2–xS. The bimetallic Ni–Mo–S can effectively capture the photogenerated electrons and quickly transfer-diffuse to produce H2. Meanwhile, the hollow Cu2–xS not only provided many more active sites to take part in the reaction but also introduced the LSPR effect to increase the solar utilization. This work provides valuable insights into the synergistic effect of using non-precious metal co-catalysts and the LSPR materials to assist in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

The production of formic acid (FA) from lignocellulose and its derived sugars represents a pivotal upgrading reaction in biorefinery. This work prepared a Mn-Mo doped carbon nanotube composite catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of glucose into FA in an O2atmosphere, under extremely low Mn (3.27%) and Mo (0.40%) loading conditions, displaying a comparable performance with the traditional vanadium-based catalyst suffering from toxicity issues. It was confirmed that the doping of Mo led to the formation of MnMoOXand increased the contents of low-valence Mn species (Mn2++ Mn3+), lattice oxygen (Olatt), and surface adsorbed oxygen (Oads) based on various characterization methods, such as XRD, XPS, TEM and ICP, which were beneficial to improve the catalytic performance. The maximum FA yield of 58.8% could be achieved over Mn9Mo1OX@MWCNT after reaction for 6 h at 140 °C, which was far more than that obtained with undoped MnOX@MWCNT (14.5%) at the identical conditions. Glyoxylic acid and arabinose were identified as two main intermediates, suggesting that the transformation of glucose into FA over Mn9Mo1OX@MWCNT involved two different paths. This work proved that manganese-based catalyst was a green alternative for upgrading lignocellulose via catalytic oxidation.

Unlocking the full potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for water-splitting applications requires innovative strategies to enhance their catalytic efficiency and stability. Here, we introduce a Mo-doped Fe-based MOF (MoFe-NH2-BDC) with a unique 2D nanosheet and plate-like morphology to revolutionize the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Mo incorporation optimizes electronic properties, accelerates charge transfer, and dynamically reconstructs the catalyst surface into highly active FeOOH species, ensuring long-term performance. This next-generation electrocatalyst achieves an ultra-low overpotential of 254 mV at 20 mA cm‒2, with a rapid Tafel slope of 66 mV dec‒1, surpassing conventional RuO2 catalysts. Operando Raman and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy reveal that Mo facilitates an adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), stabilizing intermediates and boosting reaction kinetics. In a practical two-electrode system, MoFe-NH2-BDC (+) || Pt/C (−) demonstrates an exceptional cell voltage of 1.58 V at 100 mA cm‒2, maintaining stability for 85 h. These results underscore the transformative impact of Mo doping in MOFs, paving the way for highly efficient, durable, and scalable electrocatalysts for sustainable energy applications.

Defects, such as pores, microcracks, and thermal damage, pose significant challenges in the selective laser melting (SLM) process of diamond reinforced metal matrix composites. To address these issues, this study utilizes Mo-coated diamond particles prepared via salt bath plating for SLM processing of CoCr-diamond composites. The SLM process parameters including laser power, scanning speed, and hatch spacing were systematically optimized using the response surface method (RSM). Subsequently, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the SLMed CoCr-diamond composites were thoroughly investigated. Notably, a protective layer of Mo 2 C is formed on the surface of diamond particles during the salt bath plating process. When compared to the SLMed CoCr-15 vol% Mo-uncoated diamond composite, the Mo coating significantly enhances the compressive strength by 69 % and flexural strength by an impressive 345 % for the CoCr-15 vol% Mo-coated diamond composite.

Graphical A hydrothermal process is used for co-doping Mo and Zn into tunnel-structured MnO 2 (MZMO), enhancing its ion diffusion kinetics and electrical conductivity by introducing impurity energy levels and generating oxygen vacancies. This co-doping strategy also stabilizes the MnO 2 framework, enabling the MZMO cathode to achieve exceptional capacity, highly reversible H + /Zn 2+ co-intercalation, and prolonged cycle life. To address the rising demand for eco-friendly and efficient energy storage devices, rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are emerging as a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage. α-MnO 2 has attracted extensive attention for its open channels and exceptional Zn 2+ storage capacity. However, the electrochemical performance of α-MnO 2 is significantly hindered by severe structural collapse and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, we propose a simple hydrothermal approach for co-doping Mo and Zn into tunnel-structured MnO 2 (MZMO). The ion diffusion kinetics of MZMO are optimized due to ameliorated electrical conductivity by doped cations and introduced oxygen vacancies within the MnO 2 lattice. Moreover, Mo and Zn co-doping stabilizes the MnO 2 framework, significantly enhancing its electrochemical performance during prolonged cycling. Charge storage mechanism analysis further validates the extraordinary stability of the MZMO phase structure during the Zn 2+ /H + co-intercalation and deintercalation. The MZMO cathode demonstrates rapid and reversible Zn 2+ storage, with a high capacity of 395 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 , and the capacity remains at 136 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles at 2 A g −1 . This study demonstrates Mo and Zn co-doping is an effective strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of MnO 2 , offering valuable insights for developing other promising cathodes for AZIBs.

Conventional phosphonic acid extractants such as bis (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (P204) have only been used for cobalt extraction and perform poor separation efficiency. In this work, we propose a route to synergistically extract and separate Co, Mo, and V from spent hydrogenation catalysts by utilizing the modulating effect of ethanolamine (MEA) on phosphonic acid-based extractants, which eliminates the need for saponification and acidification of the extractants. The extraction mechanism of V, Co and Mo have been explained detailedly. By performing quantum chemical calculations on the surface properties of various amines, their metal extraction effects were predicted and validated using machine learning, laying the foundation for the design of synergistic extractants. The Co/Mo/V selective separation process was finally built with the aim of extracting cobalt first in the form of Co(RNH 2 ) 2 A 2 . At a P204 concentration of 25 %, MEA addition of 5 %, stirring time of 10 min, stirring rate of 400 rpm, the combined recoveries of the three metals Co, V and Mo reached 94.56 %, 85.60 % and 88.81 %, the separation factors β Co/Mo and β Co/V could be increased up to 44748.77 and 1174.04, respectively. It was also demonstrated that the extractant was also suitable for the selective extraction of Ni 2+ . This work provided fundamental research for the development of high-performance extraction systems.

The electrolysis of seawater represents a promising route for sustainable hydrogen production, yet it remains severely hindered by chloride-induced corrosion and competing side reactions at the anode. In this study, we develop a robust NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) anode modified with molybdate (MoO 4 2− ) via a simple ion intercalation strategy, which significantly enhances both the activity and durability of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline seawater. Systematic experimental and in-situ spectroscopic analyses reveal that intercalated MoO 4 2− induces electron delocalization around Ni/Fe sites, elevating their oxidation states and facilitating a lattice oxygen-mediated reaction pathway. This electronic modulation not only accelerates OER kinetics but also effectively shields active sites from chloride attack. The optimized NiFe LDH-MoO 4 2- electrode achieves outstanding performance with low overpotentials of 252, 284 and 312 mV at current densities of 100, 500 and 1000 mA cm −2 , respectively, and exhibits remarkable long-term stability for 220 h with 93 % retention. When integrated into a two-electrode seawater electrolyzer, the system requires only 1.65, 1.74 and 1.87 V to deliver 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 A cm −2 , and operates stably over 180 h. This work offers an effective anti-corrosion engineering strategy, paving the way for industrial-scale seawater electrolysis.
