Production of Hybrid Polymer-Oxide Materials Based on Molybdenum Oxide Compounds Using Transient Electrolysis Method

Abstract

Сatalytically active hybrid polymer-oxide material, based on molybdenum oxide compounds with iron group (Fe, Ni, Co) metals and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, is obtained by method of transient electrolysis. Surface morphology and elemental composition of the obtained hybrid polymer-oxide material are examined with an electron microscopy and X-ray micro-fluorescent microanalysis; its phase composition and its chemical bonds structure formation between metal oxide compounds and polymer macromolecules are determined by X-ray phase analysis and IR spectroscopy. High catalytic activity of the obtained hybrid polymer-oxide material in the model reaction of hydrogen peroxide decomposition by the gaso-metric method is shown, which allows us to conclude that it is possible to use the obtained hybrid polymer-oxide materials as catalysts for wastewater treatment to purify it from organic and inorganic impurities.
