Abstract
Novel Ag2MoO4 nanocomposite fibers were designed to enhance the photocatalytic response and supercapacitor performance of MoO3 grown via the sol-gel electrospinning technique. The Ag2MoO4 nanocomposite fibers exhibit a high specific surface area of 49.3 m2 g-1 comprising nanobeads that aggregate in the fibrous structure. The photodegradation efficiency of Ag2MoO4 was evaluated as 62% under visible light irradiation which improved to 71% with heterogeneous photocatalysis. The Ag2MoO4@Ni foam exhibited a low Rct of 19.6 Ω, and an enhanced specific capacitance of 1445 F g-1 was obtained at 1 A g-1, with 93% of its initial capacitance remaining after 5000 cycles. In addition, the Ag2MoO4//activated carbon asymmetric supercapacitor possesses an excellent energy density of 76.6 W h kg-1 at 743.2 W kg-1 and a noteworthy cycling durability of 91% after 5000 cycles. Our findings demonstrate that the electrospun Ag2MoO4@Ni foam is an important and inexpensive electrode material for supercapacitor applications and visible light-driven heterogeneous photocatalysis, drawing on the synergic effects of Ag and Mo to exhibit much better performance.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:670. [PMID: 36839038 PMCID: PMC9965002 DOI: 10.3390/nano13040670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The preparation method can considerably affect the structural, morphological, and gas-sensing properties of mixed-oxide materials which often demonstrate superior photocatalytic and sensing performance in comparison with single-metal oxides. In this work, hybrids of semiconductor nanomaterials based on TiO2 and ZnO were prepared by laser ablation of Zn and Ti plates in water and then tested as chemiresistive gas sensors towards volatile organics (2-propanol, acetaldehyde, ethanol, methanol) and ammonia. An infrared millisecond pulsed laser with energy 2.0 J/pulse and a repetition rate of 5 Hz was applied to Zn and Ti metal targets in different ablation sequences to produce two nano-hybrids (TiO2/ZnO and ZnO/TiO2). The surface chemistry, morphology, crystallinity, and phase composition of the prepared hybrids were found to tune their gas-sensing properties. Among all tested gases, sample TiO2/ZnO showed selectivity to ethanol, while sample ZnO/TiO2 sensed 2-propanol at room temperature, both with a detection limit of ~50 ppm. The response and recovery times were found to be 24 and 607 s for the TiO2/ZnO sensor, and 54 and 50 s for its ZnO/TiO2 counterpart, respectively, towards 100 ppm of the target gas at room temperature.

Abstract
The present report investigates the various MoO3 morphologies prepared via different approaches such as morphologies are cubic sheet, ribbon, and hexagonal sheet. These prepared nanostructures are modified as a MoO3/Ni-F electrode used to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The influence of the morphology on the microstructural, morphological, electronic state, optical and electrochemical properties of MoO3 nanostructures are systematically studied. The recorded XRD spectra confirmed that the good crystalline nature with the orthorhombic crystal structure. The FESEM analysis shows that preparation approaches strongly influenced the MoO3 morphology. The elemental mapping and XPS analysis confirm the formation of MoO3. The obtained optical band gap values show that the MoO3 morphology-based bandgap values are 3.38, 3.17, and 2.94 eV. The modified MoO3/Ni-F electrode electrochemical impedance spectra show the CP-MoO3 has good conductivity. Moreover, the CP-MoO3/Ni-F electrode has a wide detection window, long-term stability, reproducibility, and a low detection limit is 1.2 μM. Hence, the CP-MoO3/Ni-F electrode electrochemical results suggest that the modified electrode has offered a good matrix for toxic contaminants sensing applications.

Abstract
A fully integrated, flexible, and functional sensing device for exhaled breath analysis drastically transforms conventional medical diagnosis to non-invasive, low-cost, real-time, and personalized health care. 2D materials based on MXenes offer multiple advantages for accurately detecting various breath biomarkers compared to conventional semiconducting oxides. High surface sensitivity, large surface-to-weight ratio, room temperature detection, and easy-to-assemble structures are vital parameters for such sensing devices in which MXenes have demonstrated all these properties both experimentally and theoretically. So far, MXenes-based flexible sensor is successfully fabricated at a lab-scale and is predicted to be translated into clinical practice within the next few years. This review presents a potential application of MXenes as emerging materials for flexible and wearable sensor devices. The biomarkers from exhaled breath are described first, with emphasis on metabolic processes and diseases indicated by abnormal biomarkers. Then, biomarkers sensing performances provided by MXenes families and the enhancement strategies are discussed. The method of fabrications toward MXenes integration into various flexible substrates is summarized. Finally, the fundamental challenges and prospects, including portable integration with Internet-of-Thing (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), are addressed to realize marketization.

Abstract
The La2Mo2O9 and La2(MoO4)3 powders were synthesized using a solid-state reaction method and used to prepare dense ceramics. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the chemical composition and charge numbers of the elements in the subsurface area of dense ceramics of lanthanum molybdates. The spectra were measured under an ultra-high vacuum of 7 × 10-11 atm at 30 °C and 600 °C, and under an oxygen atmosphere at 2 × 10-3 atm at 600 °C and 825 °C. High resolution spectra for La 3d, Mo 3d and O 1s states were obtained and analyzed. The kinetics of oxygen exchange were considered in the framework of a two-step model including the consecutive steps of dissociative adsorption and the incorporation of oxygen. The oxygen adsorption (ra) and incorporation (ri) rates were calculated. Correlations between the oxide surface defect chemistry and the rates of individual oxygen-exchange steps were discussed.
