Synthesis and characterization of α-MoO3 nanobelt composite positive electrode materials for lithium battery application

Single crystalline flowerlike α-MoO3 nanorods and their application as anode material for lithium-ion batteries

“…Mai et al assembled a single nanowire device to measure the electrical transport through a single MoO 3 nanowire before and after lithiation, and the conductivity was calculated to increase from 10 À4 S cm À1 before lithiation to 10 À2 S cm À1 after lithiation, but at the expense of fracture and break in MoO 3 nanowires [35]. Up to now, a-MoO 3 has been engineered into different morphologies, including nanowires [36], nanobelts [37,38], micro/ nanorods [19,39], nanoparticles [14], and thin films [13,40]. Among them, rod or belt-like a-MoO 3 has attracted extra interests due to its single crystalline nature, which serves well as representation of the layered structure and anisotropic growth.…”

Electrochemical properties of α-MoO3-coated Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 cathode material for Li-ion batteries

“…Furthermore, in the 2nd and 3rd, the first oxidation peaks shifts slightly to the lower voltage region, while the second oxidation peaks at 4.55 V in the first charge gradually disappear. It is wellknown that the surround area A i (i is the cycle times) of each cycle curve could represent the amount of Li + ion insertion [40]. Table 5 shows the CV area of cathode materials at different cycles.…”

“…It is obvious that the MoO 3 thin film could improve the cyclic performance of LMNCO cathode materials because the MoO 3 / Li 2 MoO 4 layer impedes the formation of Li 2 CO 3 /LiOH layer, and then protect LMNCO from erosion by acid produced from electrolyte during cycling. But when the MoO 3 content is higher than 3 wt.%, the thick MoO 3 coating with poor electrical conductivity could worsen the cyclic performance of LMNCO cathode materials [40].…”

Preparation of recyclable MoO3 nanosheets for visible-light driven photocatalytic reduction of Cr(vi)

“…15 Therefore, the development of MoO 3 nanoparticles has consequently increased in recent years. [16][17][18][19][20] By now, many synthesis processes of MoO 3 are widely investigated using electrodeposition, molten salt, hydrothermal, sol-gel methods et al, and different morphologies including nanobers, microbelts and ower-like spheres can be fabricated. [21][22][23][24][25][26] Nowadays MoO 3 has been widely used as photocatalysts.…”
