Synthesis, characterizations, and antibacterial properties of PbMoO4 nanocrystals

Superior stability and activity of a PbMoO4/BiOBr nanocomposite for enhanced catalytic oxidative desulfurization of actual fuel

“…The Raman results matched well with the previous study, confirming the purity of the prepared sample. [40][41][42] The Raman spectrum of BiOBr shows peaks at 60 and 110 cm À1 that can be ascribed to (A 1g ) external and internal Bi-Br stretching mode. 43,44 The peak at 370 cm À1 can be specified as the E 1g stretching mode of Bi-Br.…”

Insights into the Antimicrobial Activity of Hydrated Cobaltmolybdate Doped with Copper

“…Recently, studies demonstrated the feasibility of materials containing Mo in its formulation with high antimicrobial activity [ 4 , 5 ], called molybdates, which have an important role in the structure and function of metal or proteins in certain biological systems [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Articles have recently been published on the antimicrobial properties of silver molybdates [ 9 ], lead [ 10 ], copper [ 2 ], zirconium [ 11 ], titanium [ 12 ], iron [ 13 ], and zinc [ 14 ].…”

Structure, electronic properties, morphology evolution, and photocatalytic activity in PbMoO4 and Pb1−2xCaxSrxMoO4 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) solid solutions

“…Metal molybdates have aroused great interest due to their broad applications in a wide range of technological fields such as catalysts and photocatalysis, optics, magnetism, gas sensors and electrochemistry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Among the metal molybdates, the AMoO4 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb) family with a scheelite structure and spatial group I41 presents excellent photoluminescent and photocatalytic properties [13][14][15][16], lead molybdate, PbMoO4 (PMO), being one of the most promising compounds in this family [5].…”

“…The valence band (VB) consists of the hybridization of O 2p and Pb 6s orbitals, while the conduction band (CB) is composed mainly of Mo 4d orbitals, the band gap between CB and VB being approximately 3.2 eV [8]. PMO is employed as photocatalysts [9], semiconductor material [10] and an antibacterial agent [11].…”

“…Different synthetic procedures have been employed to obtain PMO, such as the solid state reaction [12]; the electrochemical method [13]; combustion synthesis [14]; polymerization of complexes [15]; reverse micro emulsion [16]; citrate complex method [17], solvothermic synthesis [18], conventional hydrothermal [11] and the hydrothermal microwave assisted methods [19]. Some of these methods, however, offer disadvantages, such as the generation and formation of organic residues, prolonged synthesis times, and high energy release.…”
