Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) driven by high-performance and low-cost electrocatalysts has been well-identified as one of the most promising technologies to explore sustainable power sources. In this work, the authors demonstrated a series of Fe–Mo selenide composite nanomaterials with adjustable HER catalytic activities by a simple one-step hydrothermal reaction. The heterostructured catalyst exhibited significant enhancement in HER activity compared to the pristine MoSe2 and FeSe2 catalysts. It is found that the optimized Mo–Fe selenide can drive the HER at a current density of 10 mA cm–2 by an overpotential of 86.9 mV in acidic solution. Also, it possesses outstanding kinetics (Tafel slope of 57.7 mV dec–1) of the electrochemical reaction. Besides the synergistic effect of different chemicals, the coupled Mo–Fe selenide achieved the electronic modulation of the heterointerface, where electrons were accelerated to transfer from dispersed FeSe2 to the active edges on 1T-MoSe2 and further activated the electrochemical performance.

Molybdenum doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) catalysts were prepared by a simple pyrolysis method using melamine and ammonium molybdate as precursors. The characterization results indicated that the obtained Mo-doped g-C 3 N 4 catalysts had worm-like mesostructures with higher surface area. Introduction of Mo species can effectively extend the spectral response property and reduce the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. CO 2 photocatalytic reduction tests showed that the Mo-doped g-C 3 N 4 catalysts exhibited considerably higher activity (the highest CO and CH 4 yields of 887 and 123 μmol g − 1 -cat., respectively, after 8 h of UV irradiation.) compared with pure g-C 3 N 4 from melamine.

Tuning the electron distribution of metal single-atom active sites via bimetallic clusters is an effective way to enhance their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity, but remains a great challenge. A biochar-based electrocatalyst (BCMoMn800-2) with both MnN4 active sites and Mo2C/Mn7C3 clusters was synthesized using in situ enriched Mo/Mn biomass as a precursor to trigger the HER. Various characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results indicated that the presence of Mo2C/Mn7C3 clusters in BCMoMn800-2 effectively induced the redistribution of charges at MnN4 sites, reducing the energy of H* activation during the HER. In 0.5 M H2SO4, the overpotential was 27.4 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and the Tafel slope was 31 mV dec−1, and its electrocatalytic performance was close to that of Pt/C. The electrocatalyst also exhibited excellent electrocatalytic stability and durability. This work might provide a new strategy for solid waste recycling and constructing efficient HER electrocatalysts.

NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) and La-, Mo- or W-doped NiFe-LDH microparticles (NiFeX-LDH, X = La, Mo, W) were synthesized via the co-precipitation method. Their adsorption characteristics were evaluated by the removal of methyl orange (MO) and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+). The effects of the metal ion doping type, doping concentration (0–3at%), pH and temperature on the MO adsorption properties were systematically studied. The results show that W-doped NiFe-LDH exhibits superior MO removal capacity compared to undoped or La- or Mo-doped NiFe-LDH at the same 1at% doping level, which is attributed to the increased layer charge density and strong affinity for the π-electron systems of MO molecules. The NiFeW-LDH-1at% sample demonstrated the best MO adsorption performance within the W-doping range of 0–3at%, achieving a superior adsorption capability of 666.67 mg/g with a significantly shorter equilibrium time (10–120 min) compared to the similar LDH. NiFeW-LDH-1at% showed promising reusability, with its adsorption efficiency remaining 78.3% of its initial level after five adsorption–desorption cycles. The MO uptake onto NiFeX-LDH was attributed to the combined effect of anion exchange and the attraction of layer charge. In addition, the adsorption of NiFeW-LDH-1at% matched well with the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating a monolayer and chemical adsorption. Furthermore, NiFeW-LDH-1at% effectively adsorbed of Cr2O72−in the aqueous solution, revealing that W doping significantly enhances Cr(VI) removal performance. The maximum theoretical adsorption capacity onto NiFeW-LDH-1at% reached 63.25 mg/g, which was notably higher than that of the pristine NiFe-LDH adsorbent (53.56 mg/g). Overall, the W-doped NiFe-LDH material, as a low-cost and highly efficient adsorbent, shows great potential for wastewater treatment application.

Bacterial infections considerably limit the success of scaffold transplantation. CuO 2 may generate hydroxyl radicals through a self-cascade catalytic process, which is effective for sterilization. However, reducing CuO 2 -derived Cu + ions to Cu° can lead to a decline in catalytic activity. To overcome these limitations, we anchored CuO 2 onto MoS 2 to establish stable Cu-S-Mo interfacial sites. The CuO 2 /MoS 2 nanozyme was fabricated using a low-temperature co-precipitation technique and introduced into poly- l -lactic acid scaffolds using selective laser sintering. The Cu-S-Mo interfacial sites showed a triad of functions that synergistically enhanced catalytic performance. These sites stabilized the Cu atoms, augmented catalytic activity by facilitating efficient electron transfer through the Mo 4+ /Mo 6+ redox couple, and improved the conduction of heat derived from the photothermal response of MoS 2 to the Cu catalyst. The synergistic action of chemodynamic and photothermal therapy, mediated by the Cu-S-Mo sites, resulted in remarkable antibacterial efficacy, with 92.3 % and 93.5 % inhibition rates against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli , respectively. Experimental evidence and simulations demonstrated that Cu-S-Mo structure stabilized the Cu atoms and improved electron transfer via interatomic charge transfer. These results highlight the potential of the CuO 2 @MoS 2 /PLLA scaffold in eliminating bacterial infections.

The chemical upgrade of the waste polyester coating on the surface of aluminum cans to value-added products can not only decrease the release of toxic substances, but also improve the quality of aluminum in the recycling process. In this study, different types of zeolite molecular sieve catalysts loaded with Ni, Mo and Co were synthesized, and utilized in the rapid catalytic pyrolysis of polyester coating. Among them, the Ni/ZSM-5 achieved the maximum aromatic compounds yield of 68.43 % at 600 ℃. A series of characterization results demonstrated that the embedding of transition metals (like Ni) could promote the cyclization and aromatization of products through deoxidation and dehydrogenation reactions by changing the pore structure and increasing total acid content (Brønsted and Lewis acids) of the ZSM-5 molecular sieve. Meanwhile, the thermodynamics of polyester coating during catalytic pyrolysis was studied by thermogravimetric method. The average activation energy of Ni/ZSM-5 catalytic pyrolysis of polyester coating is 238.65 kJ/mol. Furthermore, even after being reused for over 5 cycles, the catalyst can still maintain a relatively high yield of aromatic compounds (exceeding 60 %). Finally, the mechanism for aromatic compounds formation from Ni-modified ZSM-5 in-situ catalyzed polyester coating pyrolysis was proposed. This work provided useful ideas for the subsequent treatment of solid wastes.

Abnormal levels of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in the human body are valuable indicators for monitoring human health, as they are associated with certain diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to develop sensitive and simultaneous analytical techniques for DA and UA in diagnosing the related diseases. Herein, the Co- and Mo- doped carbon nanofibers (Co, Mo@CNFs) electrochemical biosensor was developed successfully for the sensitive and accurate simultaneous detection of DA and UA. A straightforward electrospinning technique followed by a carbonization process was employed for the synthesis of Co, Mo@CNFs, and the encapsulation of Co and Mo within CNFs served to not only prevent nanoparticle agglomeration, thus providing more active sites, but also to facilitate rapid electron transfer . By incorporating Co and Mo into CNFs, the electrocatalytic activity of the modified electrode was greatly improved due to the beneficial conductivity and synergistic effects of transition metals . This enhancement effectively addressed issues such as the overlapping anodic peaks that occur when DA and UA are oxidized concurrently. Due to the mentioned synergistic contributions, the modified Co, Mo@CNFs electrode (Co, Mo@CNFs/GCE) achieved remarkable sensitivity for the simultaneous detection of DA and UA, while also exhibiting strong anti-interference ability. The detection limits for DA and UA were 2.35 nmol L −1 and 0.16 μmol L −1 , respectively. We applied the developed Co, Mo@CNFs/GCE electrochemical biosensor to detect DA and UA in 50-fold diluted serum and urine samples. The results affirm the biosensor's reliability and precision. Moreover, the developed Co, Mo@CNFs/GCE biosensor demonstrated excellent performance in simultaneously detecting DA and UA, providing an efficient and dependable detection approach for clinical diagnosis and bioanalysis .

Amorphous tungsten trioxide (a-WO 3 ) films were prepared on ITO conductive glass via electrodeposition and subsequently crystallized to obtain crystalline WO 3 (c-WO 3 ) films by heating a-WO 3 . A dual-phase stacked WO 3 film was fabricated by covering Mo-a-WO 3 film onto c-WO 3 /ITO substrate using electrodeposition and thermal-assisted electrodeposition methods, respectively. Optimization of electrochromic performance was achieved by varying Mo doping levels (0∼5 atom%). Results demonstrate that appropriate Mo doping (3 atom%) enhances the electrochromic properties of a-WO 3 films. Mo doping introduced structural distortions that reduced energy barriers and enhanced ion mobility, leading to improved electrochemical and electrochromic properties. The intermediate c-WO 3 layer improves adhesion between a-WO 3 top film and ITO glass substrate, while the porous structure of a-WO 3 layer increases the number of active sites for electrochromic reactions. Mo3-a-WO 3 /c-WO 3 dual-phase stacked film with doping 3 atom% Mo shows an optical modulation range of 83.4 % at 633 nm, a coloration efficiency of 74.3 cm 2 /C, rapid response time (bleaching/coloration: 3.4 s/6.1 s), and 86.6 % retention of its maximum current density after 2000 cycles, respectively. The high oxidation ion diffusion coefficient (3.53 × 10 −10 cm 2 /s) and reduction diffusion coefficient (1.55 × 10 −10 cm 2 /s) were also observed. This dual-phase stacked film shows significant improvements in electrochromic performance due to the synergistic effects between the dual phases and Mo-doping. Electrochromic device (ECD) assembled with Mo3-a-WO 3 /c-WO 3 dual-phase films as the working electrode, ITO glass as the counter electrode, and 1 mol/L LiClO4/PC solution as the electrolyte exhibited an optical modulation range of 74.2 % and response time (bleaching/ coloring) of 6.8 s/3.7 s. These findings confirm that ECD with Mo-a-WO 3 /c-WO 3 dual-phase films offer excellent electrochromic performance.

NiCo layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH)/ZIF-67 was in situ grown on the surface of Ni foam (NF) through hydrothermal method and subsequent solution growth method. The ZIF-67 was then hydrothermally converted into hydroxide in the presence of Mo and Ni salts for the preparation of Mo-doped NiCo-LDH (NiCoMo-LDH), and the doping of Mo endowed the NiCo-LDH with more active sites. The obtained NiCoMo-LDH showed a unique multi-dimensional “lollipop” nanostructure, which was then optimized through electrochemical reconstruction in KOH solution. During the electrochemical reconstruction, rich oxygen vacancies were generated in the NiCoMo-LDH via continuous doping/de-doping of hydroxyl ions (OH − ). Moreover, the crystallinity of the NiCoMo-LDH was greatly lowered after the electrochemical reconstruction, resulting in the generation of internal disorders and effective exposure of active sites. Owing to the abundant active sites, variable valence states, multi-dimensional nanostructure as well as rich oxygen vacancies, the electrochemical reconstructed NF@NiCoMo-LDH (ER-NF@NiCoMo-LDH) showed superior electrochemical performances. Finally, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was fabricated by using the ER-NF@NiCoMo-LDH as cathode and NF supported active carbon as anode, which had a high energy density of 0.32 mWh cm −2 (at 1.60 mW cm −2 ) and a nearly 100 % coulombic efficiency. The ASC could be used to power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for a long time.

The mining of strategic U-Mo deposits invariably leads to the generation of wastewater with significant risks of radioactive and heavy metal pollution. This study explores a novel process for the simultaneous precipitation-adsorption of U and Mo from mine drainage, with subsequent solidification of the radioactive Fe(OH) 3 sediments using tailings. The results demonstrate that, under specific conditions, such as 33.6 mg/L Fe 3+ and pH 6.0–7.0, more than 97 % of U and Mo can be efficiently co-removed, and the treated water exhibits a gross α radioactivity of less than 0.2 Bq/L. The U-bearing Fe(OH) 3 sediments are transformed into general solid wastes, exhibiting low α radioactivity of less than 1.0 Bq/kg for 238 U, 232 Th or 226 Ra, after being blended with tailings in a mass ratio of 1:50. The reaction, adsorption and solidification mechanisms are further elucidated. The U and Mo are primarily precipitated and adsorbed in the forms of UO 2 (OH) 2 and Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 respectively. The U-bearing Fe(OH) 3 particles are firmly encapsulated by negatively charged particles of phlogopite, quartz, and orthoclase, and agglomerate into large particles within the solidification product, thereby reducing U dissolution in simulated acid rain. Ultimately, a sustainable treatment flowsheet is established for the management of U-Mo ore mine drainage and tailings.

Selective oxidation of cyclohexane (CHA) to KA-oil (cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone) is an important reaction in the chemical industry, which is constrained by high energy consumption and low selectivity. In this study, Mo-doped mesoporous TiO2 (Mo-MT) has been successfully synthesized via calcinating MIL-125(Ti) doped with molybdenum acetylacetonate. A series of characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the doped Mo not only decreases the band gap from 3.02 eV (MT) to 2.71 eV (Mo-MT-2) and enhances efficiencies in charge separation and photogenerated carrier transfer but also directly reduces O2 to Mo-η2-O2 peroxo on Mo-MT-2, achieving a 3.2 times higher yield of KA-oil (62.7 μmol) than that by P25 and a high selectivity toward KA-oil of 99.9% under visible-light irradiation. Meanwhile, electron shuttling of benzoquinone facilitates electron transfer from CHA to O2, thus significantly enhancing the KA-oil yield from 62.7 to 431.0 μmol. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance analyses confirm the electron-shuttling roles of benzoquinone in H-abstraction and H-transfer during selective photooxidation of CHA by Mo-MT-2. DFT calculations further reveal that the benzoquinone-hydroquinone/semiquinone-benzoquinone cycle shuttles electrons from CHA to Mo-η2-O2 peroxo on the surface of Mo-MT-2, thus facilitating H-abstraction from CHA to form C6H11·, coupled with the formation of H2O2. The produced C6H11· then eventually reacts with O2 to form KA-oil. This study enriches our understanding of the importance of peroxo species and electron shuttles in selective photooxidation of C(sp3)–H.

Electrolysis of neutral saline wastewater/seawater enables sustainable hydrogen production but faces sluggish hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) kinetics and poor durability in chloride-rich media. Herein, a novel Cu 2 S/Amorphous/Cu–Ni–Mo heterostructure electrocatalyst, prepared by electrodeposition and atomic layer deposition (ALD), was introduced to address these challenges. The electrode was synthesized by electrodepositing a Cu–Ni–Mo coating onto a stainless steel substrate, followed by in-situ sulfurization using ALD technology to form an amorphous layer, yielding a heterostructure with optimized interfacial properties. This heterostructure electrode exhibited an overpotential of 63.29 mV at −10 mA cm −2 and maintained stable operation at −100 mA cm −2 for over 180 h in 0.5 mol/L NaCl +1 mol/L phosphate buffered saline (PBS). A 10 cm × 10 cm electrode was successfully fabricated using this scalable method, which exhibited uniform morphology and stability exceeding 240 h. This work advances HER performance and scalability in neutral environments, facilitating industrial-scale electrocatalytic hydrogen production.
