Biomass-derived carboxylic acids (e.g. acetic acid AcOH and formic FA) are a green low-cost hydrogen source to replace hazardous H2 gas in in-situ hydrogenation processes. To date, bio-acids dehydrogenation has been mainly conducted using noble metal catalysts which would negatively impact the process economy, thus development of efficient non-noble for this purpose is highly desirable. In stud...

Direct catalytic non-oxidative coupling is a promising route for the valorization of abundant methane. Understanding mechanism difficult because reactions at surface catalyst and in gas phase via radicals are important high temperatures employed. Herein, series Mo-doped CeO2 samples with isolated Mo sites were prepared by flame spray pyrolysis method screened their performance The selectivity t...

Three dimensional Mo-doped Ni3S2 mesoporous nanostructures have been successfully fabricated on Ni foam by a facile solvothermal route, which demonstrated the superior galvanization charging/discharging (GCD), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen (OER) performances at various temperatures. The study opens new opportunities to develop self-supported noble-metal-free for sustainable energ...

Abstract In this report, we prepared transparent and conducting undoped molybdenum-doped tin oxide (Mo–SnO 2 ) thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD). The relationship between the precursor concentration in feed resulting was studied energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, suggesting that efficiency of doping is quantitative method could potentially impart exquisite con...

A novel hybrid nanocomposite, PMo11V@N-doped few layer graphene, was prepared by a one-step protocol through direct immobilization of the tetrabutylammonium salt of a vanadium-substituted phosphomolybdate (PMo11V) onto N-doped few layer graphene (N-FLG). The nanocomposite characterization by FTIR and XPS confirmed its successful synthesis. Glassy carbon modified electrodes with PMo11V and PMo11...

This report focuses on a novel strategy for the preparation of transition metal-MoS2 hybrid nanoclusters based on a one-step, dual-target magnetron sputtering, and gas condensation process demonstrated for Ni-MoS2. Aberration-corrected STEM images coupled with EDX analysis confirms the presence of Ni and MoS2 in the hybrid nanoclusters (average diameter = 5.0 nm, Mo:S ratio = 1:1.8 ± 0.1). The ...
