The group of 2D materials contains almost all the elements of the periodic table. In contrast to the graphene sheet, they are abundant, this creates a variety of electronic properties including metals, semimetals, insulators and semiconductors. Band gaps of these materials are direct or indirect by ranging from ultraviolet to infrared, for this reason, have received much attention for nanoelect...

In situ metal, acid and metal-acid (bifunctional) catalytic active functions were prepared following partial reduction by hydrogen of MoO3 deposited on TiO2 at temperatures between 623 K and 673 K. The bifunctional structure is obtained following the reduction of MoO3 to MoO2. The metallic properties of MoO2 are attributed to the delocalized  electrons above the Mo atoms place along the C-axis...

A simply and facilely synthesized MoO3 solution was developed to fabricate charge injection layers for improving the charge-injection properties in p-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). By dissolving MoO3 powder in ammonium (NH3) solvent under an air atmosphere, an intermediate ammonium molybdate ((NH4)2MoO4) precursor is made stable, transparent and spin-coated to form the MoO3 inte...

The high theoretical capacitance of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) renders it an attractive supercapacitor electrode material. However, its low electronic conductivity restricts charge transfer and slows reaction kinetics. Herein, we vacuum filtered porous, free-standing, flexible highly conductive films comprised oxygen vacancy-rich MoO3-x nanobelts delaminated Ti3C2 MXene in a mass ratio 80:20, r...

The exploitation of phonon–polaritons in nanostructured materials offers a pathway to manipulate infrared (IR) light for nanophotonic applications. Notably, hyperbolic (HP2) polar bidimensional crystals have been used demonstrate strong electromagnetic field confinement, ultraslow group velocities, and long lifetimes (up ?12 ps). Here we present nanobelts ?-phase molybdenum trioxide (?-MoO3) as...
