To improve the thermal and combustion properties of nanothermites, a design theory of changing the state of matter and structural state of the reactants during reaction was proposed. The Al/MoO 3 /KClO 4 (Kp) nanothermite was prepared and the Al/MoO 3 nanothermite was used as a control. SEM and XRD were used to characterize the nanothermites; DSC was used to test thermal properties; and constant volume and open combustion tests were performed to examine their combustion performance. Phase and morphology characterization of the combustion products were performed to reveal the mechanism of the aluminothermic reaction. The results show that the Al/MoO 3 /Kp nanothermite exhibited excellent thermal properties, with a total heat release of 1976 J·g − 1 , increasing by approximately 33% of 1486 J·g − 1 of the Al/MoO 3 nanothermite, and activation energy of 269.66 kJ·mol − 1 , which demonstrated higher stability than the Al/MoO 3 nanothermite (205.64 kJ·mol − 1 ). During the combustion test, the peak pressure of the Al/MoO 3 /Kp nanothermite was 0.751 MPa, and the average pressure rise rate was 25.03 MPa·s − 1 , much higher than 0.188 MPa and 6.27 MPa·s − 1 of the Al/MoO 3 nanothermite. The combustion products of Al/MoO 3 nanothermite were Al 2 O 3 , MoO, and Mo, indicating insufficient combustion and incomplete reaction, whereas, the combustion products of Al/MoO 3 /Kp nanothermite were Al 2 O 3 , MoO, and KCl, indicating complete reaction. Their “coral-like” morphology was the effect of reactants solidifying after melting during the combustion process. The characterization of reactants and pressure test during combustion reveals the three stages of aluminothermic reaction in thermites. The excellent thermal and combustion performance of Al/MoO 3 /Kp nanothermite is attributed to the melt and decomposition of Kp into O 2 in the third stage. This study provides new ideas and guidance for the design of high-performance nanothermites.

Developing high-performance and low-cost self-supporting electrodes as pH-universal electrocatalysts for the hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER) and realizing high-quality hydrogen production at a high current density are highly desirable, but are hugely challenging. We created a self-supporting electrode with a coupled hierarchical heterostructure by simple electrodeposition followed by sulfurization. It comprised oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide (MoO3−x) and cobalt phosphide (CoP) on nickel foam (NF), which represented a highly active pH-universal electrocatalyst for the HER at a high current density. Benefiting from a plethora of catalytic active sites, improved interfacial charge transfer, and strong electronic interaction, this type of MoO3−x@CoP/NF electrode delivered a superior catalytic performance. Overpotentials of only 100 mV, 135 mV, and 400 mV were needed to realize a high current density of 1 A cm−2 in alkaline, acid and neutral media, respectively, which were superior to those of most other well-developed materials based on non-noble metals. Our experimental work demonstrates the synergistic advantages of a MoO3−x@CoP heterostructure for improving the intrinsic catalytic performance but also paves a new path for the rational design of advanced electrodes for hydrogen generation in a wide range of pH conditions.

It is essential and still remains a big challenge to obtain fast-charge anodes with large capacities and long lifespans for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Among all of the alternative materials, molybdenum trioxide shows the advantages of large theoretical specific capacity, distinct tunnel framework, and low cost. However, there are also some key shortcomings, such as fast capacity decaying due to structural instability during Li insertion and poor rate performance due to low intrinsic electron conductivity and ion diffusion capability, dying to be overcome. A unique strategy is proposed to prepare Ti-h-MoO3–x@TiO2 nanosheets by a one-step hydrothermal approach with NiTi alloy as a control reagent. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the doping of Ti element can make the hexagonal h-MoO3–x material show the best electronic structure and it is favor to be synthesized. Furthermore, the hexagonal Ti-h-MoO3–x material has better lithium storage capacity and lithium diffusion capacity than the orthogonal α-MoO3 material, and its theoretical capacity is more than 50% higher than that of the orthogonal α-MoO3 material. Additionally, it is found that Ti-h-MoO3–x@TiO2 as an anode displays extremely high reversible discharge/charge capacities of 1326.8/1321.3 mAh g–1 at 1 A g–1 for 800 cycles and 611.2/606.6 mAh g–1 at 5 A g–1 for 2000 cycles. Thus, Ti-h-MoO3-x@TiO2 can be considered a high-power-density and high-energy-density anode material with excellent stability for LIBs.

Mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 supports with different pore structures were prepared by the cation-anion double hydrolysis method. Based on these samples, MoO 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts were made via impregnation. The adsorptions of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) and collidine over the supports and catalysts were studied by FT-IR. The supports or catalysts with larger pores can adsorb more 4,6-DMDBT. The methyl groups on adsorbate molecules are very close to the sulfur atom , resulting in apparent steric hindrance . Increasing the pore size can promote the interaction between the adsorbates and supports or catalysts, enhancing the C C bond and weakening the C S bond of 4,6-DMDBT. 4,6-DMDBT molecules were coordinated with the unsaturated Mo atoms over the catalysts to form π-complexation adsorption. There was much difference between thiophene and 4,6-DMDBT adsorption. The adsorption of collidine over the catalysts also illustrated that there existed steric hindrance. Significantly, the catalyst with hierarchical mesopores was beneficial for the adsorbates with larger molecular dynamics diameter. Compared with the pore size, the specific surface area was not the key factor to affect the adsorptions of 4,6-DMDBT and collidine. The hydrodesulfurization reaction of 4,6-DMDBT illustrated that the catalysts with larger pore size or hierarchical pore structure presented higher desulfurization efficiency (above than 80%).

A hot research topic in visible-light-driven photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation technology is the development of superior photoanode materials. The design of the photoanode system with a direct Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism is crucial to achieving effective charge separation for sustainable photoelectrocatalysis. Here, a novel Bi / Bi 2 S 3 /α-MoO 3 heterostructure was successfully assembled by a simple and feasible strategy. The direct Z-scheme heterogeneous formed between Bi 2 S 3 and α-MoO 3 has the advantages of low resistance, high optical response current and the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Bi nanoparticles (Bi NPs). Thus, the efficiency of photogenerated carrier separation and transfer is further enhanced, and the catalytic activity is significantly improved. It is impressive that the unique photoanode has achieved a maximum removal efficiency of 85.8% of tetracycline (TC) pollutants under visible light irradiation within 60 min and has excellent stability, which is expected to degrade antibiotics efficiently and environmentally in harsh environments. These characteristics give Bi / Bi 2 S 3 /α-MoO 3 promising candidates for practical applications in antibiotic degradation.

Nowadays, there is an urgent need for microwave absorbing materials with light weight, thin thickness, and strong absorbing ability to solve the problem of electromagnetic radiation. In this study, we report a novel high-performance aerogel absorber by growing MoO 3 -doped WO 3 nanoflakes on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. The resultant rGO-Mo-WO 3 aerogel displays a low density (∼75 mg/cm 3 ) and unique hierarchical architectures including 3D porous microstructures, 2D rGO skeleton, and binary transition metal oxide of Mo-WO 3 nanoflakes, thus leading to excellent microwave absorption performances . Typically, rGO-Mo-WO 3 aerogel exhibits an ultra-strong reflection loss (RL) of −61.8 dB with a thin coating thickness of 1.54 mm. And a wide effective absorption bandwidth of 6.24 GHz can be achieved at a low filler loading of 8 wt%, much superior to previous ones. The synergistic effect of moderate polarization relaxation loss and weak conduction loss together with the porous microstructure for the aerogel result in the suitable impedance matching and strong microwave attenuation ability. This work may demonstrate a promising method to fabricate hierarchically nanostructured absorbers with the advantages of light weight, ultra-strong microwave absorption, and thin coating thickness.

2D heterostructures offer a great opportunity in seeking high-performing energy storage materials ; however, performance ceiling exists, limited by their van-der-Waals (vdW) interactions. Here, we explore a novel 2D, amorphous MoO 3−x (aMoO 3−x ) on Ti 3 C 2 -MXene, non-vdW heterostructure via a facile synthesis route. Density functional theory computations suggest that the non-vdW heterostructure can strongly stabilize aMoO 3−x while maintaining electrical conductivity at a high level. Facile 2D Li-ion diffusion can then be achieved in the restacked 2D non-vdW heterostructures due to the weakened interactions between two defective MoO 3−x layers, leading to a capacitor-like interlayer diffusion reaching a large capacity of 426 C g −1 on the surface of the amorphous layer and a diffusion-controlled intralayer diffusion of 546 C g −1 within the amorphous layer. These characteristics optimize Li-ion storage kinetics while achieving full capacities of amorphous materials with high stability. This work might offer a feasible platform of 2D non-vdW heterostructures for boosting and understanding Li-ion storage performance.

In this study, novel mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) composed of MoO 3 /Poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) with distinctive piezo-photocatalytic properties were prepared. The membranes were made from dopes containing a high ratio of MoO 3 to P(VDF-TrFE) (2:1 wt%/wt%) through a modified solvent evaporation method. The addition of MoO 3 particles significantly impacted the crystallization and self-polarization of the P(VDF-TrFE) matrix, leading to a substantial increase in total crystallinity from 46.4% to 88.9% and a transformation from α to β phase. The flow-induced piezoelectric potential created an internal electric field, enhancing the spatial separation of photogenerated carriers through the piezoelectric effect. Controlled water flow further promoted the spatial separation of carriers. The developed MMMs demonstrated a high Rhodamine B degradation rate, reaching 83.1% within 45 minutes and over 99% within 90 minutes under natural light conditions. The MoO 3 /P(VDF-TrFE) MMMs exhibit promising piezo-photocatalytic attributes and hold potential for diverse applications due to their unique combination of piezoelectric and photocatalytic properties.

The effective detection of diisopropylamine gas is one of great significance in industrial production and human health. In this study, the availably detect of diisopropylamine gas was achieved by constructing CoMoO 4 /MoO 3 materials. The CoMoO 4 /MoO 3 sensor has highly selective diisopropylamine (S=87.6–10 ppm diisopropylamine) at 170 °C, with a response time of only 5.3 s. The lowest detection limit of the sensor is 5 ppb, which is the lowest detection limit in diisopropylamine gas sensors to date. Meanwhile, the CoMoO 4 /MoO 3 sensor also shows perfect diisopropylamine gas selectivity, moisture resistance, and long-term stability. Based on the advantages of p-n heterostructures and the synergistic effect of 2D nanosheets , CoMoO 4 /MoO 3 materials exhibits excellent diisopropylamine gas sensing properties. This work provides useful guidance for constructing of high-performance diisopropylamine sensors in the future.

Pseudocapacitance is induced by surface or near surface redox, ion intercalation or underpotential deposition processes. A given electrochemically active material usually has only one of the above mechanisms. In this study, we synthesized elm seed-like mesoporous MoO3−x nanosheets, which possess both redox and intercalation faradic mechanisms. This novel pseudocapacitance mechanism causes a high capacitance of 1480 F g−1 at 5 A g−1 and outstanding cycling performance where the capacitance does not decay but increases slightly up to 10 000 cycles at a scan rate of 100 mV s−1. Here, we clarified that the tunnel structure of MoO3−x and its special electrochemical kinetics towards H+ generate this mechanism. This faradic mechanism could achieve a higher degree of utilization of the active-sites thus resulting in excellent electrochemical performance.

Wideband optical saturable absorbers (SA) are an ideal laser component for pulse laser generation in different wavelengths, which has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. Herein, a MoO3-x-based novel wideband optical SA has been demonstrated by utilizing it for ∼1/1.5/2 μm Q-switched pulses generation. After separately integrating the MoO3-x-SA into Yb-, Er- and Tm-doped fiber lasers, passively Q-switched pulses with pulse durations of ∼1.5/2.2/1.6 μs, repetition rates of several tens kilohertz at corresponding wavelengths of ∼1038/1562.9/1910 nm are obtained. Our work firstly reveals the remarkable wideband optical saturable absorption of the MoO3-x, which strongly implies the potential application in infrared photonics devices. It may also provide new opportunities for wideband optical SA based on oxygen-deficient metal oxides.

The electronic modulation and morphology control of electrocatalysts are effective strategies to improve their catalytic performance. Herein, MoO 2 -MoO 3 /Ni 2 P nanoflowers were fabricated on the skeleton of conductive nickel foam as an electrocatalyst with enhanced performance via a universal hydrothermal and phosphating method. The introduction of P and Mo into the nickel-based catalyst through the co-doping strategy effectively adjusted the electronic structure of the Ni active sites, thereby significantly improving the performance of the catalyst. Particularly, the introduction of Mo allowed adjusting the morphology of the material, thereby increasing the electrochemical active area and promoting the exposure of more active sites. This strategy for improving the electrocatalyst’s performance in urea-assisted water splitting will provide a new concept for the simultaneous mitigation of the energy crisis and environmental contamination.
