The development of earth-abundant electrocatalysts with Pt-like catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of great significance to green hydrogen production . Herein, a novel strategy is described to construct dual-phase nitride nanobelts composed of Mo 2 N and Ni 0.2 Mo 0.8 N by nitridation of Ni 2+ intercalated layered MoO 3 nanobelts (NBs). The Mo 2 N/Ni 0.2 Mo 0.8 N catalyst exhibits superior stability and a low overpotential of 26 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and Tafel slope of 31 mV dec −1 in both the alkaline electrolyte and simulated seawater, which is comparable to or better than that of the benchmark Pt/C catalyst. The excellent alkaline HER characteristics is attributed to the Mo 2 N/Ni 0.2 Mo 0.8 N heterostructure with adjustable content and robust interfaces and without metal Ni segregation and structure collapse during nitridation. Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments reveal that the Mo 2 N/Ni 0.2 Mo 0.8 N interface with strong electronic interactions optimizes H adsorption/desorption yielding moderately weak bonding metal sites with positive ΔG H* as the catalytic centers, thereby accelerating the HER kinetics and boosting the HER activity. The results reveal a simple strategy for the preparation of heterostructured nitride-based catalysts with Pt-like activity for hydrogen evolution.

The development of nanotherapeutics that can efficiently inhibit tumors and rapidly degrade in both cured and healthy tissues remains a research imperative. Herein, we developed tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive Mo-doped W 18 O 49 nanobundles (MoWO NBs), which are co-assembled hyaluronic acid (HA) and doxorubicin (DOX) to achieve CT/FL imaging-guided multimodal cancer therapy. MoWO NBs exhibit multiple merits: (1) MoWO NBs degrade rapidly in the normal physiological environment but slowly in the weakly acidic TME, which leads to the selective accumulation of MoWO NBs at tumor sites and can prolong the therapeutic effect. (2) The existing Mo 4+ and W 5+ ions in MoWO NBs bestow the NBs with Fenton-like reaction activity to generate cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (OH) from endogenous H 2 O 2 . Meanwhile, overexpressed glutathione (GSH) can reduce Mo 6+ and W 6+ ions in MoWO NBs to lower valence states, further enhancing the chemodynamic activity of MoWO NBs. (3) Under NIR-II laser irradiation, MoWO with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 45.5% could trigger powerful photothermal therapeutic effects in vitro and in vivo . (4) Owing to the fluorescence emission of DOX and the high Z-elements of molybdenum and tungsten, fluorescence (FL) imaging and computed tomography (CT) imaging have the potential to be used to monitor the biodistribution of Mo-W 18 O 49 @DOX@HA (MoWODH) in vivo . More importantly, the synergistic Chemo/PTT/CDT of MoWODH NCs greatly inhibited tumor growth. This work may broaden the path for smart nanomaterials and TME-responsive therapies.

Modulation of surface oxygen vacancies (O v ) by defect engineering is an attractive strategy for designing high performance transition metal oxide nanozymes. In this work, we reported the fabrication of the CoMoO 4 oxidase-like nanozyme, i.e. CoMo-300r, by first pyrolyzing the CoMo layered double hydroxide precursor in an air atmosphere at 300 °C and subsequent NaBH 4 reduction strategy. Various characterization outcomes confirm the mesoporous structures of both CoMo-300r and no NaBH 4 treated CoMo-300, while the specific surface area of CoMo-300 is significantly increased from 103.54 m 2 ·g −1 to 165.24 m 2 ·g −1 after NaBH 4 reduction. Also, NaBH 4 reduction treatment leads to the formation of O v rich CoMoO 4 and reduced metal ion species on the surface, promoting the redox reaction kinetics. The CoMo-300r prepared at a molar ratio of Co to Mo of 1:2, pyrolysis temperature of 300 °C and 10 mM NaBH 4 exhibited the best oxidase-like activity. The oxidase-like activity of CoMo-300r is 2.6-fold times that of no NaBH 4 treated optimal CoMo-300. The CoMo-300r can effectively promote TMB oxidation to produce blue color and has the Michaelis-Menten constant of 0.0428 mM, which was lower than most cobalt-based oxide nanozymes and indicated a higher affinity for TMB. In terms of inhibition of SO 3 2− on the CoMo-300r/TMB system, a sensitive SO 3 2− colorimetric sensing platform was established. The linear range and limit of detection for sulfite determination were 0.2–40 μM and 0.09 μM, respectively. The relative standard deviation for the determination of 10 μM sulfite was 1.41% ( n = 11). The method was successfully applied to the detection of sulfite in white wine. This work provides a new strategy to fabricate high activity oxidase mimetic for food analysis.

Ammonia borane (AB) has been identified as one of the most promising candidates for chemical hydrogen storage . However, the practical application of AB for hydrogen production is hindered by the need of efficient and inexpensive catalysts. For the first time, we report that the incorporation of Mo into Cu@Co core-shell structure can significantly improve the catalytic efficiency of hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB. The Cu 0.81 @Mo 0.09 Co 0.10 core-shell catalyst displays high catalytic activity towards the hydrolysis dehydrogenation of AB with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 49.6 molH 2 mol cat −1 min −1 , which is higher than most of Cu-based catalysts ever reported, and even comparable to those of noble-metal based catalysts. The excellent catalytic performance is attributed to the multi-elements co-deposition effect and electrons transfer effect of Cu, Mo and Co in the tri-metallic core-shell NPs.

In this work, P and Mo dual-doped CoNiS (PMo-CoNiS) nanosheet arrays were successfully constructed through a common solvothermal treatment. The precise doping of P and Mo species into the CoNiS can regulate the microstructures and meanwhile endow with PMo-CoNiS abundant amorphous/crystalline heterointerfaces, which can adjust the electronic structure, thus enhancing the intrinsic activity of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As a result, ultra-low overpotentials of merely 156 and 58 mV are required to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm −2 for OER and HER, respectively, and the electrocatalysts PMo-CoNiS also exhibit low Tafel slopes and maintain robust stability for 48 h in alkaline media at a high current density of 50 mA cm −2 . In addition, in an assembled electrolyte cell for overall water splitting, a voltage as low as 1.48 V is sufficient to yield a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirmed that the enhanced OER and HER result from the optimized OH* and H* adsorption energy of PMo-CoNiS due to P, Mo dual doping and generated interfacial effect. This work may offer an avenue for designing low-cost bifunctional catalysts with superior catalytic activity and provide a new application strategy for broader applications in various electrocatalytic fields.

The photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol and the simultaneous evolution of hydrogen from water are efficient dual-optimal routes. It is important to develop composite catalysts that combine redox properties and facilitate electron–hole separation and transport. Herein, the bimetallic-doped Mo-ZIS@Ti photocatalyst was designed and synthesized, and the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol and hydrogen evolution by water splitting was realized at the same time. Under visible light irradiation, benzyl alcohol was completely converted with more than 99% selectivity for benzaldehyde, and the H2 production rate was 5.6 times higher than the initial ZIS. The exceptional catalytic performance was ascribed to utilizing Ti-MIL-125 as a precursor, wherein slowly releasing-doped Ti formed robust Ti–S bonds that quickly transfer electrons and reduce sites. Meanwhile, doping Mo effectively captures photogenerated holes and acts as active sites for oxidation reactions. Both experimental characterization and work function calculations demonstrate that the bimetallic synergism effectively modulates the electronic structure of ZIS, promotes the directional separation of electrons and holes, and significantly improves the photoactivity and stability of ZIS. This work contributes a route to obtain benzaldehyde and green hydrogen at the same time and also gives new insights for the construction and mechanism study of bimetallic-doping catalysts.

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) for the synthesis of ammonia (NH 3 ) is one of the green and mild methods of artificial nitrogen fixation, promising as an alternative to replace the existing industrial process. Under the requirements of green chemistry and sustainable development, the design and development of highly active and stable electrocatalysts is very important for improved synthesis performance. Mimicking from the natural nitrogenase, Fe and Mo based catalysts have attracted much attention due to their superior catalytic performance for N 2 adsorption and activation. In this work, an interfacial engineering strategy has been used to prepare a Fe, Mo-bimetallic electrocatalyst for the electrosynthesis of NH 3 . In detail, the pre-pyrolyzed biochar-based Fe 2 O 3 composites were decorated with nano-flowered MoS 2 /MoO 2 hybrids by a solvothermal process (MoS 2 /MoO 2 @Fe 2 O 3 /BC). As confirmed by the extensive characterization, the further modification not only introduced functional counterparts into the electrocatalysts but also regulated the morphology of the nanostructure. The electrochemical tests showed that the highest NH 3 yield rate of MoS 2 /MoO 2 @Fe 2 O 3 /BC was 4.87 μg h − 1 cm −2 and highest FE was 16.5% in 0.1 M Na 2 SO 4 . The catalytic stability and durability were also presented in the longtime electrolysis and cycling experiments. The improved catalytic performance of decorated catalyst, as evidenced by the comparison with Fe 2 O 3 /BC, is attributed to the increased electrocatalytic active area, the moderated hydrophilicity, and the synergistic effect of Fe, Mo-bimetallic active sites. This study provides a new perspective for the design and development of low-cost transition metal complexes as electrocatalysts for nitrogen reduction reactions.

Hydrogen energy as a new type of clean energy has been widely used. Electrolysis is a highly effective method of producing hydrogen from water. Catalysts with low development costs and high efficiency are the focus of current research. A novel Ni–W–P/Mo catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was synthesized by electrodeposition based on a molybdenum mesh. The experimental results show that when the current density is 10 mA/cm2, the best overpotential of Ni–W–P/Mo in alkaline medium is 75 mV. Not only that, the Tafel slope (77 mV/dec) also proves its excellent dynamic performance. In addition, the 60 h stability test at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 indicates an excellent long-term stability performance. Compared with the catalysts reported in recent years, the HER performance of Ni–W–P/Mo is much better than that of most nonprecious metal catalysts. The uniform and regular molybdenum network provides a large area of support for the catalyst, which is conducive to the synthesis and reaction of the catalyst. By doping W, the electronic structure of the catalyst is regulated, and the water decomposition is promoted. The stability of the morphology is also an important factor in improving the activity of the catalyst. The amorphous catalyst synthesized by the electrodeposition method in this work provides a new idea for the research of catalytic materials for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water and has important significance for promoting the development of a hydrogen energy economy.

Graphical Phosphomolybdic acid doping and co-etching with thioacetamide at low temperatures resulted in the formation of uniformly Mo-doped CoS₂ nanoparticles exhibiting a hollow structure that increased the number of active sites and provided abundant reaction sites. In terms of performance, Mo-CoS₂ exhibits the competitive OER and HER properties for an efficient overall water splitting. Nowadays, the sluggish hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics are the key obstacles limiting the commercial application of water splitting. In this study, a size-matching strategy is proposed to construct the molybdenum-doped CoS 2 polyhedra (Mo-CoS 2 ) by encapsulating polyoxometalate (POM, H 3 PMo 12 O 40 ) guests into mesoporous zeolite imidazolium framework-67 (ZIF-67), with thioacetamide (TAA) serving as a gentle sulfur source. The catalyst exhibits a pronounced hollow structure due to the synergistic etching effects of POM and TAA, which can increase the number of active sites. Additionally, the incorporation of Mo optimizes the electronic structure, thereby improving both HER and OER performance. In alkaline electrolytes, Mo-CoS 2 delivers an overpotential of 330 mV and 269 mV for OER and HER, respectively, to produce a current density of 100 mA cm −2 . Moreover, Mo-CoS 2 demonstrates exceptional performance in overall water splitting, achieving a cell voltage of 1.55 V at 10 mA cm −2 , along with outstanding long-term stability. This study provides a promising avenue for the structural and component optimization of cobalt sulfide, which could significantly improve the efficiency of hydrogen production.

Although zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) possess the merits of orderly porosity, high permeability, and easy functionalization, the transformation of ZIFs into the real active species and the promotion of the catalytic efficiency and stability are still challenging. Herein, CoMo-based three-dimensional (3D) hollow nanocages composed of interconnected nanosheets are fabricated by in-situ etching metal–organic framework (ZIF-67) under the aid of MoO 4 2− . X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in-situ Raman confirm that Mo leaching can accelerate surface reconstruction and generate CoOOH active sites after continuous oxidation. Benefiting from the nanostructure and electronic properties after surface reconstruction, the engineered CoMo-30 exhibits the lowest overpotential of 280 mV at 30 mA cm −2 and robust stability over 110 h in 1 M KOH media for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which significantly surpasses the other counterparts and commercial RuO 2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that CoMo-30 has a lower free energy of *O → *OOH as rate determining step (RDS), suggesting that CoOOH sites play a crucial role in enhancing the activity and kinetics of OER. This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of hollow structures and the structure-composition-activity relationship during the electrochemical reaction process.

Photo-anode-driven photoelectrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 is an ideal way for solving problems such as the greenhouse effect and environmental crisis. In this study, a one-step hydrothermal method was successfully used for the preparation of BiVO 4 films doped with different mass fractions of Mo. The results show that when Mo was doped at 1.5 wt%, photocurrent densities of up to 4.11 mA·cm -2 were obtained, 3.36 times greater than those of undoped BiVO 4 , and there was a marked cathodic shifting of water oxidation reaction initiation potential. Subsequently, coupling it with the BiOBr nanosheet cathode, the generated CH 3 OH rate reached 45.67 μmol·L -1 ·h -1 ·cm -2 at a low applied voltage of 1.2 V RHE , with a Faraday efficiency of 60.68% for photoelectrocatalytic CO 2 reduction.

Degradation of organic pollutants by in-situ electrochemically synthetic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in electro-Fenton (EF) system is important for the treatment of wastewater. In this work, a Fe, Mo co-doped N@TiO 2 electrocatalyst was constructed for H 2 O 2 generation and applied to the degradation of organic dyes. The FeMoN@TiO 2 catalyst in 0.1 M KOH exhibits excellent 2e - Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and stability, with a yield of up to 1409 mmol gcat -1 h −1 and Faraday efficiency (FE) of 83.4 % at −0.7 V (relative to SCE) for more than 10 h. The in situ generated H 2 O 2 delivers benign organic dyes degradation ability with high methylene blue (MB) removal rate of 98.2 % after 2 h in 0.1 M KOH without adding Fe 2+ . After adding Fe 2+ , the EF process occurs to degrade dyes more efficiently, with Congo red and phenol removal rates of more than 99.0 % and Ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal rate of more than 96.0 % in 0.1 M Na 2 SO 4 solution. It is found that Mo doping increases the active sites of the catalyst, while the dopant of Fe can enhance can improve the electron transfer rate between the catalyst and reactants. Additionally, the synergistic Fe and Mo modulate the electronic structure of Ti, increasing the concentrations of Ti 3+ and chemiadsorbed O. This enhances the electronic conductivity and the reactivity of the catalyst, leading to improved ability for H 2 O 2 generation and organic pollutants degradation. Radical quenching experiments show that the in-situ generated H 2 O 2 reacts with added Fe 2+ to produce a large amount of ·OH, which is the main active substance for organic pollutants degradation. This study provides new insights for non-precious metal oxides to replace precious metals towards in-situ production of H 2 O 2 and degradation of pollutants.
