Topochemical synthesis of one-dimensional Mo2C nanobelts

Controllable synthesis of Mo2C with different morphology and application to electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction

“…The used raw materials were MoO 3 nanobelts, MoO 3 powder (MoO 3 , 99.8%, with an average particle size of 1 μm, Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.) and platinum on activated carbon powder (20%Pt/C, Beijing Innochem Science & Technology Co., Ltd). The MoO 3 NBs were synthesized via a hydrothermal route [35]. First, 5 g ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate ((NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 4H 2 O, 99%, Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.) was dissolved in 50 ml 5 mol l −1 nitric acid solution and stirred for 1 h at room temperature.…”

Efficient sunlight promoted nitrogen fixation from air under room temperature and ambient pressure via Ti/Mo composites

“…Hexagonal molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) is widely used in the field of photoelectric catalysis due to its good electrical conductivity and hydrogen evolution ability. [29][30][31][32][33] Therefore, in this work, to utilizing various virtues of Mo2C and TiO2 as photocatalysts, a composite material by using Mo2C and TiO2 for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation was designed and synthesized. Compared with pure TiO2, the Ti/Mo photocatalyst can effectively separate the photogenerated electrons and holes, so that this photocatalyst can convert nitrogen into ammonia efficiently from air directly.…”
