Electrodeposition of refractory metals is a challenging issue in the electroplating field owing to their low reduction potential. Electrodeposition of molybdenum in MoCl 5 -BMIMPF 6 by a cyclic scanning regime was introduced in this paper. Ni-Mo and Pt/Ni-Mo deposits were prepared by underpotential deposition to induce the bulk deposition of molybdenum. The coatings were observed and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical behavior of metallic molybdenum in ionic liquids was studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results show that the initial nucleation/growth process of molybdenum in MoCl 5 -BMIMPF 6 follows three-dimensional progressive nucleation with diffusion-controlled growth, and the nucleation rate of molybdenum is slow in the ionic liquid system. The effects of supporting electrolytes and sputtering Pt/Ni electrodes were particularly studied. A yellow-brown uniform coating with more refined crystalline grains was obtained on the Ni surface by the addition of NaF due to its positive role in the mass transfer process and good complexing actions that promote nucleation. A gray-white coating with metallic luster was successfully fabricated on the surface of sputtered Pt/Ni because the substrate with a high work function is benign to molybdenum growth at a lower temperature and more positive potentials.

Graphical The P doped MoS 2 @Ni 3 S 2 nanorods array with core/shell structure was prepared through successive sulfuration and phosphorization strategies, which exhibits close catalytic activity to Pt/C, the overpotential is only 290 mV at 250 mA cm −2 . Electrocatalysis is the most promising strategy to generate clean energy H 2 , and the development of catalysts with excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance at high current density that can resist strong alkaline and acidic electrolyte environment is of great significance for practical industrial application. Therefore, a P doped MoS 2 @Ni 3 S 2 nanorods array (named P-NiMoS) was successfully synthesized through successive sulfuration and phosphorization. P-NiMoS presents a core/shell structure with a heterojunction between MoS 2 (shell) and Ni 3 S 2 (core). Furthermore, the doping of P modulates the electronic structure of the P-NiMoS; the electrons transfer from the t 2g orbital of Ni element to the e g empty orbital of Mo element through the Ni−S−Mo bond at the Ni 3 S 2 and MoS 2 heterojunction, facilitating the hydrogen evolution reaction. As a result, P-NiMoS exhibits excellent HER activity; the overpotential is 290 mV at high current density of 250 mA cm −2 in alkaline electrolyte, which is close to Pt/C (282 mV@250 mA cm −2 ), and P-NiMoS can stably evolve hydrogen for 48 h.

In place of the widely studied graphene, monolayer or few-layer MoS2 flakes are promising materials for next-generation optoelectronic devices. MoS2 has attracted increasing attention in physics and its applications because of its capacity to undergo indirect-to-direct
band gap transition. Raman spectroscopy is a useful and versatile tool to probe the physical properties of pristine and intercalated MoS2. This study investigates for the first time the multiphoton modes of FeCl3- and Zn-intercalated few-layer MoS2 at high
frequencies of 1513 and 1732 cm−1 for FeCl3–MoS2 and 1341 and 1604 cm−1 for Zn–MoS2. The substrates interact with MoS2 during intercalation. The Raman peak intensities of the intercalated samples vary
with intercalation time while keeping the peak position nearly constant. This finding is interesting and suitable for studying other 2D layered materials.

Graphical A composite ammonium molybdophosphate/Al-MCM-41 material is synthesized by a one-pot method with natural clay as the silica and aluminum source. A modified “liquid-phase transport” step allows the use of impure natural clay as the starting material to produce pure product without sedimentation pretreatment. The composite material is effective for the adsorption of cesium ions from brine. Ordered hexagonal mesoporous aluminosilicate matrix (Al-MCM-41) with incorporated ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP) was successfully synthesized by a one-pot synthesis method with natural clay from low-grade potash ores of Qinghai salt lake as the silica and aluminum source. We introduced a modified “liquid-phase transport” step, which allowed the use of impure natural clay as a starting material to directly produce pure product without sedimentation pretreatment. The resultant product was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, TEM, 27 Al and 31 P magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy, and N 2 adsorption/desorption, which indicated that the AMP was immobilized in the mesoporous structure of Al-MCM-41. The adsorption capacity of the final product for the removal of cesium ions in solution was also investigated. The results suggested that salt lake clay is a promising low-cost precursor for the production of mesoporous aluminosilicate supports through one-pot syntheses, and the final composite material is effective for the adsorption of cesium ions from solutions containing other alkali metal ions.

The presence of grain boundaries is inevitable for chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown MoS 2 domains owing to various merging behaviors, which greatly limits its potential applications in novel electronic and optoelectronic devices. It is therefore of great significance to unravel the merging behaviors of the synthesized polygon shape MoS 2 domains. Here we provide systematic investigations of merging behaviors and electrostatic properties of CVD-grown polycrystalline MoS 2 crystals by multiple means. Morphological results exhibit various polygon shape features, ascribed to polycrystalline crystals merged with triangle shape MoS 2 single crystals. The thickness of triangle and polygon shape MoS 2 crystals is identical manifested by Raman intensity and peak position mappings. Three merging behaviors are proposed to illustrate the formation mechanisms of observed various polygon shaped MoS 2 crystals. The combined photoemission electron microscopy and kelvin probe force microscopy results reveal that the surface potential of perfect merged crystals is identical, which has an important implication for fabricating MoS 2 -based devices.

Tin oxide (SnO 2 ) has been widely used as an anode material for sodium-ion storage because of its high theoretical capacity. However, it suffers from large volume expansion and poor conductivity. To overcome these limitations, in this study, we have designed and prepared Mo-doped SnO 2 nanoflake arrays anchored on carbon foam (Mo-SnO 2 @C-foam with 38.41 wt% SnO 2 and 3.7 wt% Mo content) by a facile hydrothermal method . The carbon foam serves as a three-dimensional conductive network and a buffer skeleton, contributing to improved rate performance and cycling stability. In addition, Mo doping enhances the kinetics of sodium-ion transfer, and the interlaced SnO 2 nanoflake arrays is beneficial to promote the conversion reactions during the charge/discharge process. The as-prepared composite with a unique structure demonstrate a high initial capacity of 1017.1 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 , with a capacity retention over three times higher than that of the control sample (SnO 2 @C-foam) at 1 A g −1 , indicating a remarkable rate performance.

A quadruple 2H transition metal dichalcogenide of platinum doped molybdenum selenide sulfide (MoSSe) has been achieved. The critical doping amount of Pt is estimated to be approximately 0.9 a.t.% to prevent the formation of a heterogeneous phase. It has been observed that the excess Pt beyond this critical doping level cannot be settled into the lattice of MoSSe but forms an independent metal phase of Pt nanoparticles, composing a heterostructure with MoSSe, in which the behavior of photogenerated electrons will be predominantly governed by metal Pt and transported along the pathways for gas production in the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. However, as long as Pt can be located in the lattice of MoSSe, the elemental variety of Pt doped MoSSe has provided various active sites during the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction process, favoring the localized coupling of matching intermediates, consequently enhancing the production of high value-added liquid products. In essence, the successful integration of Pt into the 2H MoSSe lattice opens up diverse active sites, optimizing the photocatalytic performance on the selectivity of liquid production reduced from CO 2 .

Molybdenum oxide (MoO 3 ), as a transition metal oxide, has excellent catalytic activity, chemical stability, and high application value in the catalytic field. As a typical cocatalyst, noble metals, such as silver and gold, can be decorated with MoO 3 and improve their visible light absorption performance and photogenerated charge separation efficiency to achieve a higher light energy utilization rate. However, the high price of noble metals makes it challenging to realize large-scale industrial applications. Herein, a highly dispersed MoP quantum dot (QDs) decorated MoO 3 nanorods (PMO) was prepared by the co-calcination method to achieve efficient photocatalytic oxidation of target organic contaminants. Rhodamine B (RhB) and norfloxacin (NOR) were used as the model organic contaminants to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared composite photocatalysts. Based on the photoelectric performance and band structure analysis results, the enhancement mechanism of modification with MoP QDs in PMO was proposed. The introduction of MoP QDs in PMO can accelerate electron transfer and achieve a low recombination rate of photogenerated charges. Therefore, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of RhB and NOR by PMO was higher than that of pristine MoO 3 nanorods and MoP QDs. The degradation efficiency of RhB and NOR could reach more than 97% and 100% within 40 min by PMO-5. Furthermore, photogenerated holes and hydroxyl free radical (·OH) as the primary active oxidants involved in the oxidation process of organic contaminants by PMO-5. PMO-5 still maintained vigorous catalytic activity after five cycles, indicating that it had good chemical stability. This work could provide a new strategy to construct a highly efficient photocatalyst for the efficient degradation of organic contaminants.

In this work, molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanosheets were employed to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties of chitosan (CS), which was one of the most promising biomaterials. In order to promote a homogeneous dispersion of MoS 2 and improved interface interactions between CS and fillers, carboxyl functionalization was subjected to the exfoliated MoS 2 nanosheets by chemical conjugation with thioglycolic acid before compositing with CS. Afterward, the CS/MoS 2 – g –COOH composite films were prepared by a simple solution blending method. Micromorphology characterizations showed that MoS 2 – g –COOH nanosheets dispersed much better than unmodified MoS 2 nanosheets, which was considered to be quite beneficial for the enhanced properties of CS nanocomposites. DMA results indicated that the mechanical properties of CS were improved by incorporating with MoS 2 – g –COOH nanosheets compared with neat CS and unmodified MoS 2 -filled CS. The thermal stability of CS/MoS 2 – g –COOH was also improved. This work demonstrated a promising route to prepare MoS 2 -based polymer nanocomposites with excellent performances.

Crystal phase-engineering of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) shows remarkable potential for various electronic, optoelectronic and catalytic applications. Here, a few-layer 1T′–2H MoTe2 lateral homo-junction has been obtained by using a facile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. In this CVD growth process, the in-plane phase evolution of the MoTe2 film can be dynamically controlled via tuning the contact between the film and Te vapor. Moreover, a local large-scale reversible phase transition of MoTe2 film through heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere is reported. During this heat treatment, two types of phase transition from 1T′ to 2H are observed at 500 °C and 750 °C respectively. The mechanism of this reversible phase transition is analysed by first principles calculations. The fabricated 1T′–2H–1T′ homojunction devices demonstrate that the hole mobility of 2H-MoTe2 is comparable with the exfoliated samples. This work in dynamic phase control of MoTe2 provides a pathway to exploring structural transformation of 2D materials and manufacturing novel phase-change electronic devices.

Hexagonal molybdates ( h-MoO 3 ) include abundant Mo vacancies that are charge-compensated by cations residing within one-dimensional channels. Hence, they present an intriguing structural motif for Mo catalysis which has been hardly explored for selective oxidation of olefins. We discovered that NH 4 + and Ag + -exchanged h-MoO 3 display surprisingly varied behavior during propylene oxidation. Acrolein and acrylonitrile are the main partial oxidation products with the latter forming due to NH 4 + consumption. The catalytic activity more than doubles upon introduction of Ag + which also enhances selectivity for the main products up to ∼60 %. Unexpectedly, the hexagonal frameworks transform into orthorhombic α-MoO 3 40−60 °C below their reported stability limits already. In addition, Ag 2 Mo 4 O 13 and Ag nanoparticles segregate in case of Ag + -containing h-MoO 3 frameworks. The resulting Ag/Ag 2 Mo 4 O 13 /α-MoO 3 composites catalyze propylene conversion into acrolein with even higher selectivity (∼80 %). Detailed analyses indicate that Ag 2 Mo 4 O 13 drives formation of this oxygenate over these composites.

Herein, we successfully developed a new multifunctional antibacterial system, which combined mechano-bactericidal (Au-nanostars) and photothermal (MoS2) mechanism. Meanwhile, the targeting molecule of vancomycin was modified on the surface of MoS2–Au nanocomposites (Van-MoS2–Au), that generally yield high efficiency in antibacterial performance due to their effective working radii. Van-MoS2–Au nanocomposites were capable of completely destroying both gram-negative (E. coli) and gram-positive (B. subtilis) bacteria under 808 NIR laser irradiation for 20 min, and nearly no bacterial growth was detected after 12 h incubation. Moreover, these nanocomposites could destruct the refractory biofilm as well, which was a much more difficult medical challenge. The new antibacterial nanomaterials might offer many biomedical applications because of the biocompatibility and strong antibacterial ability.
