Novel graphite-molybdenum carbide nanocomposites (G-Mo2C) are synthesized by a typical solid state reaction with melamine and MoO3 as precursors under inert atmosphere. The characterization results indicate that G-Mo2C composites are composed of high crystallization and purity of Mo2C and few layers of graphite carbon. Mo2C nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 5 to 50 nm are uniformly supporte...

The development of low-resistance source/drain contacts to transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is crucial for the realization of high-performance logic components. In particular, efficient hole contacts are required for the fabrication of p-type transistors with MoS2, a model TMDC. Previous studies have shown that the Fermi level of elemental metals is pinned close to the conduction band o...

We fabricated and demonstrated improved organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) in a thin film architecture of indium tin oxide (ITO)/ molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) (20 nm)/N,N'-Di(naphth-2-yl)-N,N'-diphenyl-benzidine (NPB) (50 nm)/ tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq3) (70 nm)/Mg:Ag (200 nm) using an oblique angle deposition technique by which MoO3 was deposited at oblique angles (θ) with respect to the...

MoO(3) nanowires synthesized using a biomolecule-assisted hydrothermal approach showed excellent adsorption ability for the removal of RhB and were also shown to be excellent pseudocapacitor materials.

MoO2 hollow microspheres with tunable inner space have been synthesized through a hydrothermal process using MoO3 microbelts instead of bulk MoO3 as the precursor. It is found that the reactant morphology has a great impact on the product morphology and the inner space can be tuned by changing the amount of NaOH aqueous solution. An interesting evolutional process from MoO3 microbelts through a...

Thin films of MoO3 were prepared by deposition of size-selected ligand-free Mo clusters under high vacuum conditions and subsequent exposure to air. The growth pattern is highly dependent on the cluster size. At low coverage, small clusters (Mo51) form a continuous monolayer of fused particles. On top of this monolayer, additional clusters survive as individual entities. Medium sized clusters (...

Effects of the synthesis parameters on the structural properties of molybdenum nitride catalysts, prepared by the temperatureprogrammed reaction of MoO3 with NH3, have been examined. Molybdenum trioxide was heated in flowing NH 3 through two linear heating segments (623 to 723 K then 723 to 973 K) with different space velocities in a 23 factorial design. The temperature limits for these heating...
