Molybdenum carbide has emerged as a promising candidate for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to its Pt-like electronic properties and stability. However, it suffers from strong hydrogen adsorption and particle aggregation, limiting its catalytic efficiency. Herein, we present a facile one-step pyrolysis strategy using biomass-derived chitosan as a dual-functional carbon/nitrogen source to synthesize nitrogen-doped carbon-supported Mo/Mo 2 C heterojunctions. The chitosan-derived porous carbon matrix prevents nanoparticle agglomeration, while nitrogen doping enhances conductivity. Remarkably, theoretical and experimental analyses reveal that the active sites are not the heterojunctions themselves but the adjacent carbon matrix activated by interfacial electronic effects, achieving near-optimal hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔG H* = 0.01 eV). The optimized catalyst demonstrates outstanding HER performance, requiring only 97.7 mV overpotential to deliver 10 mA cm - ² in alkaline media. This work provides a cost-effective synthesis method alongside novel design principles for high-performance non-precious metal HER catalysts.

Fe-based diamond -composites exhibit considerable potential for applications owing to their excellent mechanical and wear properties. However, the weak interfacial bonding between the Fe-based matrix and diamond particles has consistently limited their overall performance, adversely affecting the working efficiency of diamond tools. In this study, a Mo-B-C coating was pre-coated on the diamond surface. During the sintering process, the in-situ gradient chemical reaction between Fe and Mo-B-C coating resulted in the formation of a biomimetic ‘brick-mud’ interfacial structure consisting of Mo 2 FeB 2 , Mo 2 BC, and amorphous carbon layers. The “brick-mud” structure, combining soft and hard phases, enhanced the interfacial toughness by effectively deflecting, branching, and prolonging interfacial cracks. Additionally, the transitional diffusion of Fe within the interface layer helpd alleviate the interfacial stress concentration and suppress diamond graphitization. As a result, the optimization of interface bonding contributed to a 26.1 % increase in bending strength and a 156 % enhancement in abrasive ratio of the Fe-based diamond composites, offering a novel strategy for interfacial modification in Fe-based diamond tools.

Non-precious metal cocatalysts and interfacial charge transfer dynamics have long been recognized as critical research frontiers in photocatalytic hydrogen production via water splitting. In this study, we demonstrate a highly efficient Mo 2 C/CdS composite photocatalyst, where the construction of Mo-S chemical bonds significantly enhances interfacial charge transfer. Mo 2 C, as an effective non-noble metal cocatalyst, facilitates the efficient acceptance of photogenerated electrons from CdS. The formation of Mo-S bonds substantially boosts the hydrogen evolution activity. Remarkably, the optimized 7 wt% Mo 2 C/CdS composite achieves a photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 19.94 mmol h -1 g -1 , representing a 51-fold enhancement compared to pristine CdS (0.39 mmol h -1 g -1 ). Furthermore, this hydrogen evolution rate surpasses that of the Pt/CdS composite by 296%. Synchrotron radiation analysis provides direct evidence for the formation of Mo-S chemical bonds at the interface. Additionally, DFT calculations reveal that the Gibbs free energy change for hydrogen adsorption on Mo 2 C/CdS is reduced by -0.23 eV, further confirming the favorable thermodynamics for hydrogen generation. This study not only validates Mo 2 C as a promising cocatalyst but also highlights its potential to replace the benchmark Pt in photocatalytic water splitting. The findings offer valuable insights by intentionally constructing interfacial chemical bonds to accelerate charge transfer and significantly enhance photocatalytic performance.

Long-term corrosion profile of molybdenum was studied in three different simulated body fluids up to 28 days, compared with magnesium, zinc, and iron from the perspective of biodegradable metals (bio-metals). Their corrosion rate, mode, products and surface characteristics were comprehensively fathomed. Strikingly, Mo showed progressively advantageous long-term corrosion behavior with the smallest corrosion rate, and most importantly, more uniform mode, as compared with the other three bio-metals. It also performed bilaterally under the simulated inflammatory and bovine serum protein added conditions, with different corrosion progressions. These findings provide an optimistic outlook in opting molybdenum as a new type of bio-metal.

It is challenging to produce soft polymer materials with high surface area and nanoscale morphology that can be used for continuous flow water treatment in a processable, versatile, and stable manner. Here, we manufactured a processable Ag@CMPA-bph and used it to treat pollutants in wastewater at continuous flow conditions. The aerogel was prepared by a simple reduction method of CMP matrix and Ag metal precursors. Thermogravimetric analysis and electron microscopy showed that the aerogel had excellent thermal stability and distribution of fine Ag nanoparticles. The synthesized aerogel inherits the controllable properties of the CMP matrix and can be tailored to a specific shape for installation into the water treatment unit. In continuous flow conditions, this aerogel shows excellent catalytic activity to efficiently treat the combined pollutant containing p- nitrophenol and methyl orange ( p- NP&MO), which can reach a removal rate of more than 99 % at the flow rate of 0.6 L h -1 . Furthermore, the Ag@CMPA-bph can also be used for continuous flow treatment of pollutants in river water sample and shows robust anti-pollution load capacity and catalytic activity.

Nanozymes have drawn considerable attention because of their lower cost, higher stability and convenient preparation compared to protein enzymes. In the present work, Mo, S co-doped carbon quantum dots (Mo-CQDs) as a peroxidase mimic were used to fabricate a cascade colorimetric biosensor to detect cholesterol. The Mo-CQDs possess a robust peroxidase-like activity, and they can easily catalyze 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce an oxidized TMB in the presence of H2O2. The Mo, S doping in the carbon quantum dots (CQDs) notably boosts the yield of CQDs and may facilitate the electron transfer between TMB and H2O2, which further enhances the catalytic activity of CQDs. The colorimetric biosensor based on Mo-CQDs and cholesterol oxidase exhibited excellent selectivity and high sensitivity for cholesterol in the range of 0.01–1.0 mM along with a detection limit as low as 7 μM. The total cholesterol concentration in the serum sample was measured with satisfactory results and read out by the naked eye, indicating the potential application in clinical diagnosis and portable test kits.

In this work, the hierarchical pore HZSM-5 zeolite was synthesized by the method of alkali treatment, and the bimetallic loading of Mo and Cu was investigated for the hydrothermal aromatization of stearic acid. After alkali treatment, the pore size of HZSM-5 increased, but the acid sites decreased. The metal loading reintroduced the Lewis acid sites, greatly increasing the ratio to Brönsted acid sites. Therefore, the treated catalyst achieved higher hydrothermal stability while maintaining the high activity of hydrothermal aromatization of stearic acid. Mo0.02Cu0.01/Z-0.2M achieved excellent activity in the stearic acid hydrothermal aromatization with a high overall TEX (toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) yield of 50.19 wt %, including 10.30 wt % toluene, 3.82 wt % ethylbenzene, and 36.07 wt % xylene. In addition, Mo0.02Cu0.01/Z-0.2M still showed excellent catalytic activity while applied in the system of the simulated microalgal bio-oil. As the reactant changed to the mixture of stearic acid and hexadecanamide, an overall TEX yield of 34.11 wt % was obtained at 450 °C. These results demonstrate the excellent hydrothermal aromatization ability of the MoCu-supported hierarchical pore ZSM-5 zeolite, which provides the potential to produce value-added chemicals from algal biomass.

Mo-modified V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by wetness impregnation method and investigated for the selective oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene to 2-naphthaldehyde. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, XPS, and Raman to investigate the promotional effect of Mo on catalyst structure, surface property, and catalytic performance. The introduction of molybdenum decreases the amount of KVO 3 phase and enhances the dispersion of the vanadium phase. XPS and Raman results indicate that Mo prevents Sn and K to interact with V species and bonds with Ti or V through bridge oxygen. V1Mo1 sample demonstrates a remarkable improvement in conversion and selectivity compared with others.

Photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is considered a promising strategy to address water pollution. In this study, a novel photocatalyst was constructed by decorating g-C3N4 (CN) with α-MoC1−x quantum dots (α-MoC1−x-QDs) through a facile calcination method. The catalyst showed enhanced tetracycline (TC) degradation performance under visible light. The unique Mo–N surface bonding states and quantum effect leading to superior TC degradation activity (89.1%) compared to pure CN (21.8%) were reported and revealed. More importantly, the mechanism for the significant enhancement of photocatalytic activity of the catalyst was investigated by DFT (density functional theory) calculations and photo-electrochemistry measurements. The results confirmed that the effect of α-MoC1−x-QDs on CN improved the light absorption capacity obviously, and the Mo–N surface bonding states accelerated the charge migration from CN to α-MoC1−x-QDs. Moreover, the TC degradation pathway, intermediates and photogenerated carrier transfer behaviors were also discussed in depth. This research provides a new strategy for the construction of noble-metal-free co-catalyst/semiconductor composite materials in the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics.

Biological surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing is dependent on the properties of the sensing surface. For the biological sensing surfaces for SERS, the hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and signal sensitivity are pivotal. Hence, a hard bimetallic Mo–Ag film was developed by a magnetron sputtering technique, and the surface morphology could be controlled by the relative contents of Mo and Ag. The Mo–Ag film has better hydrophilicity than the pure Ag film, which could be beneficial for cell attachment during biological SERS sensing. Moreover, the cell test shows that the Mo–Ag film exhibits good cytocompatibility with MC3T3-E1 cells, which shows potential for SERS detection in vivo. The high surface roughness of the Mo–Ag film is a fascinating feature for enhancing Raman scattering signals. Through depositing a thin film of Mo–Ag on a glass surface with a size of 0.5 × 0.5 cm2, a sensing chip of SERS could be produced. High sensitivity and excellent signal reproducibility were acquired. The sensitivity was down to 10−10 mol L−1 for malachite green and 10−9 mol L−1 for thiram, and the relative standard deviation value was lower than 7.0%. Moreover, bacteria were detected by employing the Mo–Ag film chip, and the difference in signal uniformity between molecules and bacteria is illustrated. In summary, depositing the Mo–Ag film on the surface of sensors could be an effective strategy for biomedical SERS sensing.

The multi-anion molybdenum-based nanohybrids, N-doped β-Mo2C/MoP/MoOx (denoted as MoCPO), serving as a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), are fabricated via a simple and scalable electrosynthesis in molten NaCl–KCl, which integrates pyrolysis/electroreduction/compounding into a one-pot strategy using polyphosphazenes (PPAs) and earth-abundant molybdenite (mainly MoS2) as precursors. The deliberately selected PPA and molten electrolyte ensure the unique lamellar nanostructures and the blending of multiple anions of C, N, P, and O in the obtained catalyst, specifically, triggering the in situ formation of the structural oxygen vacancies (VO) in MoCPO. The nature of the hybrids can be regulated by adjusting the synthesis condition. The optimized hybrid displays a low overpotential of 99.2 mV at 10 mA cm–2 for HER in 0.5 M H2SO4 and stays active over a broad pH range. The theoretical calculations reveal that VO in the hybrids serves as favorable active sites, thus contributing to the superior HER activity. Moreover, MoCPO is also effective for overall water splitting as a bifunctional catalyst.

Water contamination caused by textile and industrial dyes is currently among the most important issues facing humanity that require urgent attention. Organic pollutants are harmful and can cause cancer in both humans and aquatic life. Even small amounts of these pollutants in water can lead to grave health problems. One promising way to clean up these pollutants is through degradation, using oxysulfide-based photocatalysts. These materials are effective because of their advanced optical and structural properties. The Sn-Mo(O,S) 3 catalysts were prepared through an easy precipitation process conducted at low temperatures. Different techniques were used to examine the catalyst's shape, structure, electrical properties, chemical makeup, and how it interacts with light. The Sn-Mo(O,S) 3 oxy-sulfide nanoparticle was successfully used to break down organic pollutants through photocatalytic processes. Among the samples made, the SMOS-25 catalyst showed the best performance in breaking down methylene blue dye. The effectiveness of the SMOS-25 catalyst was tested by seeing how well they could break down organic dye pollutant when exposed to visible light. The SMOS-25 nanoparticle was able to remove 98.9 % MB dye from water within 105 min under visible light. In this system, the main substance responsible for breaking down the dye is hydroxyl radical ( • OH).
