چکیده
Single crystalline MoO(3) and Cu(0.33)MoO(3) nanorods have been synthesized in large quantities via hydrothermal route, which exhibit unprecedented photocatalytic performance for the decomposition of Toluidine blue "O" (TBO) and chlorobenzene both under visible and UV light irradiation.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance of ZnO Nanorods Coupled by Two-Dimensional α-MoO3 Nanoflakes under UV and Visible Light Irradiation.
We exploit the utilization of two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum oxide nanoflakes as a co-catalyst for ZnO nanorods (NRs) to enhance their photocatalytic performance. The 2D nanoflakes of orthorhombic α-MoO3 were synthesized through a sonication-aided exfoliation technique. The 2D MoO3 nanoflakes can be further converted to substoichiometric quasi-metallic MoO3-x by using UV irradiation. Subsequen...
متن کاملEnhanced visible light photocatalysis through fast crystallization of zinc oxide nanorods
Hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods have inherent crystalline defects primarily due to oxygen vacancies that enhance optical absorption in the visible spectrum, opening up possibilities for visible light photocatalysis. Comparison of photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanorods and nanoparticle films on a test contaminant methylene blue with visible light irradiation at 72 kilolux (klx) showed that Zn...
متن کاملThiourea-Modified TiO2 Nanorods with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity.
Semiconductor TiO2 photocatalysis has attracted much attention due to its potential application in solving the problems of environmental pollution. In this paper, thiourea (CH4N2S) modified anatase TiO2 nanorods were fabricated by calcination of the mixture of TiO2 nanorods and thiourea at 600 °C for 2 h. It was found that only N element was doped into the lattice of TiO2 nanorods. With increas...
متن کاملPreparation of h-MoO3 and α-MoO3 nanocrystals: comparative study on photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation.
A detailed study on visible light photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) has been investigated in aqueous heterogeneous media containing hexagonal phase molybdenum oxide (h-MoO3) nanocrystals (NCs) which was identified as a new material for visible light driven photocatalysis. A simple and template-free solution based chemical precipitation method was employed to synthesize h-MoO3 NC...
متن کاملMicrowave-assisted rapid synthesis of Co3O4 nanorods from CoC2O4.2H2O nanorods and its application in photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation
In this work, Co3O4 nanorods were successfully prepared by microwave-assisted solid state decomposition of rod-like CoC2O4.2H2O precursor within a very short reaction time (6 min) without the use of a solvent/surfactant and complicated equipment. The as-obtained Co3O4 nanorods were fully characterized by X-ray diffract...
