Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) has been considered as a promising non-noble-metal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst for future clean energy devices. In this work, we report a facile, green, low-cost and scalable method for the synthesis of a Mo2C-based HER electrocatalyst consisting of ultrafine Mo2C nanoparticles embedded within bacterial cellulosederived 3D N-doped carbon nanofiber...

We report a controllable wet method for effective decoration of 2-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) layers with Au nanoparticles (NPs). Au NPs can be selectively formed on the edge sites or defective sites of MoS2 layers. The Au-MoS2 nano-composites are formed by non-covalent bond. The size distribution, morphology and density of the metal nanoparticles can be tuned by changing the d...

Metal corrosion is one of the most critical challenges in industrial processes. In this research, nanocomposite coating was synthesized by blending tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanoparticles with Epoxy resin and applied on brass samples to evaluate performance protection under stressed environments. A dip-coating method adopted coat sample's surface. Coated uncoated have been subjected tests study b...

In the current research, active targeting of Rhenium (IV) Oxide (ReO2), Trioxide (ReO3) and (VII) (Re2O7) nanoparticles as cancer therapeutics swell–up to kill cells under synchrotron synchrocyclotron radiations is investigated. The calculation thickness optical constants produced using sol–gel method over glassy medium through a single reflection spectrum presented. To obtain an appropriate fi...

This paper presents the experimental evidence of reversible insulator–metal transition (IMT) in thin-film amorphous molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) induced by electric fields just a few volts. The presence oxygen vacancies MoO3 is considered to play significant role reported IMT. not only impact stoichiometry but also optical bandgap. subthreshold slope for IMT 10 nm-thick MoO3-based devices 48.3 mV...

Exploring the chemical reactivity of different atomic sites on crystal surface and controlling their exposures are important for catalysis and renewable energy storage. Here, we use two-dimensional layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to demonstrate the electrochemical selectivity of edge versus terrace sites for Li-S batteries and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Lithium sulfide (Li2S) nanopa...

BACKGROUND Arsenic trioxide has been established as a first-line agent for treating acute promyelocytic leukemia. Experimental data suggest that arsenic trioxide also can have a potential use as chemotherapeutic agent for other malignancies. The precise mechanisms of action of arsenic trioxide have though not been elucidated. As the role of Bcl-2 in arsenic trioxide-mediated cell apoptosis and ...
