J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 671:702-711. [PMID: 38823111 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have received considerable potential for their affordability and high reliability. Among potential cathodes, α-MoO3 stands out due to its layered structure aligned with the (010) plane, offering extensive ionic insertion channels for enhanced charge storage. However, its limited electrochemical activity and poor Zn2+ transport kinetics present significant challenges for its deployment in energy storage devices. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a new strategy by doping α-MoO3 with Ni (Ni-MoO3), tuning the electron spin states of Mo. Thus modification can activate the reactivity of Ni-MoO3 towards Zn2+ storage and weaken the interaction between Ni-MoO3 and intercalated Zn2+, thereby accelerating the Zn2+ transport and storage. Consequently, the electrochemical properties of Ni-MoO3 significantly surpass those of pure MoO3, demonstrating a specific capacity of 258 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and outstanding rate performance (120 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1). After 1000 cycles at 8 A g-1, it retains 76 % of the initial capacity, with an energy density of 154.4 Wh kg-1 and a power density of 11.2 kW kg-1. This work proves that the modulation of electron spin states in cathode materials via metal ion doping can effectively boost their capacity and cycling durability.

Abstract
The investigations of real industrial wastewater, such as palm oil mill effluent (POME), as a recalcitrant pollutant remain a subject of global water pollution concern. Thus, this work introduced the preparation and modification of g-C3N4 and WO3 at optimum calcination temperature, where they were used as potent visible light-driven photocatalysts in the degradation of POME under visible light irradiation. Herein, g-C3N4-derived melamine and WO3 photocatalyst were obtained at different calcination temperatures in order to tune their light absorption ability and optoelectronics properties. Both photocatalysts were proven to have their distinct phases, crystallinity levels, and elements with increasing temperature, as demonstrated by the ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results. Significantly, g-C3N4 (580 °C) and WO3 (450 °C) unitary photocatalysts exhibited the highest removal efficiency of POME without dilution due to good crystallinity, extended light absorption, high separation, and less recombination efficiency of electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, surprisingly, the superior energy storage photocatalytic performance with outstanding stability by WO3 achieved an approximately 10% increment during darkness, compared with g-C3N4 under visible light irradiation. Moreover, it has been proven that the WO3 and g-C3N4 photocatalysts are desirable photocatalysts for various pollutant degradations, with excellent visible-light utilization and favorable energy storage application.

Abstract
Photocatalysts consisting of Z-scheme heterojunctions are commonly used in wastewater treatment due to their exceptional reactivity in photocatalysis and highly efficient visible-light utilization. In this work, Fe2O3-decorated MoO3 rods were synthesized through a two-step method and their photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) was evaluated. The Fe2O3/MoO3 rods were characterized by XRD, SEM, micro-Raman, XPS, UV-Vis DRS, and PL to investigate their structural, morphological, and optical properties. The results indicate that the photodegradation efficiency of Fe2O3/MoO3 improved through a reduction in the gap energy and persistence of a 1D hexagonal prism structure. The degradation rate of MB was enhanced from 31.7 to 91.5% after irradiation for 180 min owing to electron-hole separation and Fenton-like process. Formation of the OH radical is a key factor in the photodegradation reaction and with the addition of H2O2 the efficiency can further improve via a Fenton-like mechanism. Furthermore, the Z-scheme mechanism concurrently delineated. The Fe2O3/MoO3 rod composites were also found to retain high photocatalytic efficiency after being reused five times, which may be useful for future applications.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been explored to meet the current energy demands; however, the development of satisfactory anode materials is a bottleneck for the enhancement of the electrochemical performance of LIBs. Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity of 1117 mAhg-1 along with low toxicity and cost; however, it suffers from low conductivity and volume expansion, which limits its implementation as the anode. These problems can be overcome by adopting several strategies such as carbon nanomaterial incorporation and polyaniline (PANI) coating. Co-precipitation method was used to synthesize α-MoO3, and multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) were introduced into the active material. Moreover, these materials were uniformly coated with PANI using in situ chemical polymerization. The electrochemical performance was evaluated by galvanostatic charge/discharge, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). XRD analysis revealed the presence of orthorhombic crystal phase in all the synthesized samples. MWCNTs enhanced the conductivity of the active material, reduced volume changes and increased contact area. MoO3-(CNT)12% exhibited high discharge capacities of 1382 mAhg-1 and 961 mAhg-1 at current densities of 50 mAg-1 and 100 mAg-1, respectively. Moreover, PANI coating enhanced cyclic stability, prevented side reactions and increased electronic/ionic transport. The good capacities due to MWCNTS and the good cyclic stability due to PANI make these materials appropriate for application as the anode in LIBs.

Abstract
Enclosed nanoscale volumes, i.e., confined spaces, represent a fascinating playground for the controlled synthesis of inorganic materials, albeit their role in determining the synthetic outcome is currently not fully understood. Herein, we address the synthesis of MoO3 nano- and microrods with hexagonal section in inverse miniemulsion droplets and batch conditions, evaluating the effects of spatial confinement offered by miniemulsion droplets on their crystallization. Several synthetic parameters were systematically screened and their effect on the crystal structure of h-MoO3, as well as on its size, size distribution and morphology, were investigated. Moreover, a direct insight on the crystallization pathway of MoO3 in both synthetic conditions and as a function of synthetic parameters was provided by an in situ time-resolved SAXS/WAXS study, that confirmed the role of miniemulsion confined space in altering the stepwise process of the formation of h-MoO3.

Abstract
In laser-induced selective metallization (LISM), conventional laser activators only work at a single laser wavelength. This study reported a new laser activator (MoO3) very suitable for both 355 nm UV and 1064 nm near-infrared (NIR) lasers for the first time. When applying MoO3 to polymers, the prepared Cu layer on laser-activated polymers showed a good conductivity (2.63 × 106 Ω-1·m-1) and excellent adhesion. Scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and resistance analysis revealed the excellent LISM performance of the polymer/MoO3 composites, and the quality of the Cu layer prepared using the UV laser is much better than that using the NIR laser. The limit width of the copper wire prepared by the UV laser is as narrow as 30.1 μm. We also confirmed the mechanism of MoO3 initiating electroless copper plating after laser activation to be the autocatalytic mechanism, which is very different from the conventional reduction mechanism. The effect of laser activation was only to expose the MoO3 active species to the polymer surface. X-ray diffraction and tube experiments revealed that the activity of α·h-MoO3 was higher than that of α-MoO3. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that a part of Mo6+ was reduced to Mo5+ during laser activations, leading to the increase of the oxygen vacancies in MoO3 and possibly further enhancing the activity of MoO3. Besides, the micro-rough structures caused by the laser on the polymer surface provided riveting points for successfully depositing the copper layer. The Ni-Cu, Ag-Cu, and Au-Ni-Cu layers were obtained via the continued deposit of other metals on the Cu layer. The resistances of these metal layers had much better stability than that of the neat Cu layer. Furthermore, the Au layer further enhanced the conductivity of the circuit. The proposed strategy is easy for large-scale industrial applications, which will greatly expand the application scenarios of the LISM field.

Abstract
Electrochemical modification is a mild and economical way to prepare electrocatalytic materials with abundant active sites and high atom efficiency. In this work, a stable NiFeCuPt carbon matrix deposited on nickel foam (NFFeCuPt) was fabricated with an extremely low Pt load (∼28 μg cm−2) using one-step electrochemical co-deposition modification, and it serves as a bifunctional catalyst for overall water splitting and achieves 100 mA cm−2 current density at a low cell voltage of 1.54 V in acidic solution and 1.63 V in alkaline solution, respectively. In addition, a novel electrolyte was developed to stabilize the catalyst under acidic conditions, which provides inspiration for the development of highly efficient, highly stable, and cost-effective ways to synthesize electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Spatially controlled preparation of heterostructures composed of layered materials is important in achieving interesting properties. Although vapor-phased deposition methods can prepare vertical and lateral heterostructures, liquid-phased methods, which can enable scalable production and further solution processes, have shown limited controllability. Herein, we demonstrate by using wet chemical methods that metallic Sn0.5Mo0.5S2 nanosheets can be deposited epitaxially on the edges of semiconducting SnS2 nanoplates to form SnS2/Sn0.5Mo0.5S2 lateral heterostructures or coated on both the edges and basal surfaces of SnS2 to give SnS2@Sn0.5Mo0.5S2 core@shell heterostructures. They also showed good light-to-heat conversion ability due to the metallic property of Sn0.5Mo0.5S2. In particular, the core@shell heterostructure showed a higher photothermal conversion efficiency than the lateral counterpart, largely due to its randomly oriented and polycrystalline Sn0.5Mo0.5S2 layers with larger interfacing area for multiple internal light scattering.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has been developed into a cross-disciplinary analytical technology through exploring various materials' Raman vibrational modes with ultra-high sensitivity and specificity. Although conventional noble-metal based SERS substrates have achieved great success, oxide-semiconductor-based SERS substrates are attracting researchers' intensive interest due to their merits of facile fabrication, high uniformity and tunable SERS characteristics. Among all the SERS active oxide semiconductors, molybdenum oxides (MoOx) possess exceptional advantages of high Raman enhancement factor, environmental stability, recyclable detection, etc. More interestingly, the SERS effect of the MoOx SERS substrates may involve both the electromagnetic enhancement mechanism and the chemical enhancement mechanism, which is determined by the stoichiometry and morphology of the material. Therefore, the focus of this review will be on two critical points: (1) synthesis and material engineering methods of the functional MoOx material and (2) MoOx SERS mechanism and performance evaluation. First, we review recent works on the MoOx preparation and material property tuning approaches. Second, the SERS mechanism and performance of various MoOx substrates are surveyed. In particular, the performance uniformity, enhancement factor and recyclability are evaluated. In the end, we discuss several challenges and open questions related to further promoting the MoOx as the SERS substrate for monitoring extremely low trace molecules and the theory for better understanding of the SERS enhancement mechanism.

Abstract
Nonmetallic ammonium (NH4 + ) ions are applied as charge carriers for aqueous batteries, where hexagonal MoO3 is initially investigated as an anode candidate for NH4 + storage. From experimental and first-principle calculated results, the battery chemistry proceeds with reversible building-breaking behaviors of hydrogen bonds between NH4 + and tunneled MoO3 electrode frameworks, where the ammoniation/deammoniation mechanism is dominated by nondiffusion-controlled pseudocapacitive behavior. Outstanding electrochemical performance of MoO3 for NH4 + storage is delivered with 115 mAh g-1 at 1 C and can retain 32 mAh g-1 at 150 C. Furthermore, it remarkably exhibits ultralong and stable cyclic performance up to 100 000 cycle with 94% capacity retention and high power density of 4170 W kg-1 at 150 C. When coupled with CuFe prussian blue analogous (PBA) cathode, the full ammonium battery can deliver decent energy density 21.3 Wh kg-1 and the resultant flexible ammonium batteries at device level are also pioneeringly developed for potential realistic applications.

Abstract
A novel cobalt(II) complex, namely [Co(tpa)2(H2O)4]·2H2O (1) (Htpa = 5-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid) has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 was further characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectrum, electronic spectrum, X-ray powder diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis. Structural analysis shows that complex 1 was stabilized via π···π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions to give a 3D supramolecular framework. Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that O···H (29.5%), H···H (23.8%), N···H (21.5%) and π···π (8.6%) intermolecular contacts are the most important interactions in the crystal of 1. In addition, the synthesized Co(II) complex showed favorable photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV light at room temperature. The degradation process of MO was in accordance with the first-order reaction kinetics, and the t1/2 for the reaction is 27.3 min, and the apparent rate constant is k = 2.54 × 10−2 min−1.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted tremendous research interests due to their exciting optical properties, large surface area, intercalatable morphologies and excellent electrochemically catalytic activity. Acting as the most typical member in TMDCs family, layer-dependent molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with particular direct bandgap of 1.8 eV in monolayer has been widely applied in various biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity. In this review, the preparation methods of MoS2, together with MoS2-based biosensors for detecting cells and biomolecules (such as glucose, DNA and antigens) would be summarized. In addition, the current challenges and future perspectives are outlined for the applications of biosensors based on 2D MoS2.
