Structural, magnetic and electrical properties of the La0.7Ca0.15Sr0.15Mn1−xMoxO3 (0 x 0.05) compounds have been investigated. Powder x-ray analysis reveals that the sample with x = 0 crystallizes in the rhombohedral (R3c) structure, whereas in the Mo doped samples the structure can be indexed by an orthorhombic (Pbnm) structure. The important observations of the magnetic and transport properti...

The dark electrocatalytic and light photocathodic hydrogen evolution properties of Ni, Ni–Mo alloys, and Pt on Si electrodes have been measured, to assess the viability of earth-abundant electrocatalysts for integrated, semiconductor coupled fuel formation. In the dark, the activities of these catalysts deposited on degenerately doped p-Si electrodes increased in the order Ni < Ni–Mo # Pt. Ni–M...

Ying Luo, Jiawei Xue, Xiaodi Zhu, Jose Daniel, Xiang Gao, Song Sun,* Chen Gao* and Jun Bao* A series of Mo-doped Ca2NiWO6 (Ca2NiW1 xMoxO6, x1⁄4 0–0.05) samples were synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The physical and optical properties of these photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra, and the band struct...

In this letter, we report a novel V-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst synthesized via electrospinning followed by a thermal diffusion process at low temperature. The morphological and crystalline structural investigations reveal not only that the V-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst possesses a uniform, porous, fibrous structure, but also that some V(5+) ions are introduced into the SrTiO3 lattice. The photoc...

First principle calculations are employed to calculate the electronic and magnetic properties of Co doped MoS2 by considering a variety of defects including all the possible defect complexes. The results indicate that pristine MoS2 is nonmagnetic. The materials with the existence of S vacancy or Mo vacancy alone are non-magnetic either. Further calculation demonstrates that Co substitution at M...

Polycrystalline thin films of molybdenum-doped rhenium disulphide (Mo-doped ReS2) alloys were synthesised by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) using precursor solutions containing (1) [Re(S2CC6H5)(S3CC6H5)2], and (2) [Mo(S2CNEt2)4]. Synthesised characterised powder X-Ray diffraction (p-XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission (TEM), inductivel...

Nano-sized Mo-doped titania (Mo0.1Ti0.9O2) and Nb-doped titania (Nb0.25Ti0.75O2) were directly synthesized via a continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis process. Materials characterization was conducted using physical techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area measurements and energ...
