Molybdenum tailored Co^(0)/Co^(2+)active pairs on a perovskite-type oxide for direct ethanol synthesis from syngas

Selective synthesis of ethanol from syngas under the Co-based catalysts is still challenging due to the hard of regulating the active site Co^(0) and Co^(2+)ratio.In this work,a series of CaTi_(0.9-x)Co_(x)Mo_(0.1)O_(3)(x=0,0.1-0.4)and CaTi_(0.7)Co_(0.3)O_(3) catalysts were prepared by using citric acid complexation method to promote the synthesis of ethanol.It was found that Mo species in the perovskite lattice can regulate the Co^(0) and Co^(2+)ratio through the domain-limiting effect of perovskite and the degree of Co reduction could be adjusted by changing the Co/Mo molar ratio.Among these investigated catalysts,the total selectivity of alcohols over the catalyst with the optimal Co/Mo ratio CaTi_(0.6)Co_(0.3)Mo_(0.1)O_(3) reached 39.1%,with ethanol accounting for 74.7%,which was ascribed to the moderate and tightly bound ratio of dissociative to non-dissociative adsorption sites on the surface and the balance of CH_(x)-CH_(y) coupling and C^(O) insertion.

Effect of Ni Loading on the Catalytic Properties of Molybdenum Oxides for the Isomerization of Heptane

The catalytic properties of MoOx and incorporation Ni onto the MoOx for the isomerization of heptane have been investigated under atmospheric pressure at different conditions such as different flow rate of H2, different reaction temperature etc.. Compared with MoOx, the Ni addition to the MoOx markedly improved the isomerization activity of heptane by improving the reducibility of MoO3 and activation of H2 in reaction.

DFT Study of Oxygenated Organic Pollutants Catalyzed by Molybdenum Oxides: Comparison of Reaction Mechanisms of MoO_x + HCHO(x = 1, 2, 3)

The reaction mechanisms between formaldehyde and MoOx(x = 1, 2, 3) have been studied thoroughly in this paper. Five reaction pathways were found in three reactions(reactions Ⅰ to Ⅲ) through studying the mechanisms of MoOx(x = 1, 2, 3) catalyzing formaldehyde. Different products were obtained from three reactions. Of all three reactions, the barrier energy of Route ⅡA is the lowest(4.70 kcal/mol), which means in MoOx(x = 1, 2, 3), MoO2 has the best catalytic effect. Compared with other similar non-toxic treatments of formaldehyde, our barrier energy is the lowest. In this research, there was no good leaving group of the compound, so the mechanisms are addition reaction. We speculate that there must be an addition reaction to the more complex reactions to molybdenum oxides and aldehydes. As a chemical reagent for removing formaldehyde, it only absorbs formaldehyde and does not emit other toxic substances outward. Molybdenum oxides retain its original structures of the final products, which means it has excellent stability in the reaction of MoOx(x = 1, 2, 3) + HCHO. The mechanisms of all three reactions are addition reactions, but they are entirely different. As the number of oxygen atoms increases, the reaction mechanisms become simpler.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on carbon-nanotubes/graphite electrode modified with platinum and molybdenum oxide nanoparticles

Electrochemical codeposition and electrocatalytic properties of platinum and molybdenum oxide nanoparticles(Pt-MoOx) on carbon-nanotubes/graphite electrode for methanol oxidation were investigated.The micrograph and elemental composition of the resulting Pt-MoOx/CNTs/graphite electrode were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS).The results show that the Pt-MoOx particles with the average size of about 50 nm are highly dispersed on the CNTs surface.The Pt-MoOx/CNTs/graphite electrode delivers excellent electrocatalytic properties for methanol oxidation.The highest mass activity(Am)reaches 264.8 A/g at the loading mass of 159.3μg/cm2.This may be attributed to the small particle size and high dispersion of Pt-MoOx catalysts deposited on the CNTs surface.The kinetic analysis from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)reveals that the existed MoOx phase can improve the chemisorptive and catalytic properties for methanol oxidation.

Boosted Electrocatalytic Glucose Oxidation Reaction on Noble-Metal-Free MoO_(3)-Decorated Carbon Nanotubes

Electrocatalytic glucose oxidation reaction(GOR)has attracted much attention owing to its crucial role in biofuel cell fabrication.Herein,we load MoO_(3)nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes(CNTs)and use a discharge process to prepare a noblemetal-free MC-60 catalyst containing MoO_(3),Mo_(2)C,and a Mo_(2)C–MoO_(3)interface.In the GOR,MC-60 shows activity as high as 745μA/(mmol/L cm^(2)),considerably higher than those of the Pt/CNT(270μA/(mmol/L cm^(2)))and Au/CNT catalysts(110μA/(mmol/L cm^(2))).In the GOR,the response minimum on MC-60 is as low as 8μmol/L,with a steady-state response time of only 3 s.Moreover,MC-60 has superior stability and anti-interference ability to impurities in the GOR.The better performance of MC-60 in the GOR is attributed to the abundant Mo sites bonding to C and O atoms at the MoO_(3)–Mo_(2)C interface.These Mo sites create active sites for promoting glucose adsorption and oxidation,enhancing MC-60 performance in the GOR.Thus,these results help to fabricate more effi cient noble-metal-free catalysts for the fabrication of glucose-based biofuel cells.

Preparation of sodium molybdate from molybdenum concentrate by microwave roasting and alkali leaching

The preparation process of sodium molybdate has the disadvantages of high energy consumption,low thermal efficiency,and high raw material requirement of molybdenum trioxide,in order to realize the green and efficient development of molybdenum concentrate resources,this paper proposes a new process for efficient recovery of molybdenum from molybdenum concentrate and preparation of sodium molybdate by microwave-enhanced roasting and alkali leaching.Thermodynamic analysis indicated the feasibility of oxidation roasting of molybdenum concentrate.The effects of roasting temperature,holding time,and power-to-mass ratio on the oxidation product and leaching product sodium molybdate (Na_(2)MoO_(4)·2H_(2)O) were investigated.Under the optimal process conditions:roasting temperature of 700℃,holding time of 110 min,and power-to-mass ratio of 110 W/g,the molybdenum state of existence was converted from MoS_(2) to Mo O3.The process of preparing sodium molybdate by alkali leaching of molybdenum calcine was investigated,the optimal leaching conditions include a solution concentration of 2.5 mol/L,a liquid-to-solid ratio of 2 mL/g,a leaching temperature of 60℃,and leaching solution termination at pH 8.The optimum conditions result in a leaching rate of sodium molybdate of 96.24%.Meanwhile,the content of sodium molybdate reaches 94.08wt%after leaching and removing impurities.Iron and aluminum impurities can be effectively separated by adjusting the pH of the leaching solution with sodium carbonate solution.This research avoids the shortcomings of the traditional process and utilizes the advantages of microwave metallurgy to prepare high-quality sodium molybdate,which provides a new idea for the highvalue utilization of molybdenum concentrate.

Facile solution-processed molybdenum oxide as hole transporting material for efficient organic solar cell

The large energy barrier in hole extraction still remains a great challenge in developing hole transporting layer (HTL) materials for organic solar cells (OSCs).Thus,solution-processed HTL materials with excellent hole collection ability and good compatibility with large-area processing technique are strongly desired for OSCs.Herein,we developed a cost-effective and solution-processed MoO_(3)HTL for efficient OSCs.By adding a small amount of glucose as reducing reagent into the ammonium molybdate precursor solution,a deeply n-doped MoO_(3),namely G:Mo,was prepared through the sol–gel method.Compared to pristine MoO_(3),the conductivity of G:Mo was enhanced by two orders of magnitude,which greatly improved the hole collection ability of the HTL.OSCs with G:Mo can exhibit comparable PCE to the PEDOT:PSS device.Using PBDB-TF:BTP-eC9 as the active layer,a PCE of 17.1%is obtained for the device,which is the highest PCE value for OSC using a solution-processed MoO_(3)HTL.More importantly,G:Mo is well compatible with the blade-coating processing.The OSC using a blade-coated G:Mo showed almost no PCE loss as compared to the device with spin-coated G:Mo HTL.The results from this work indicate that G:Mo is a promising HTL material for the practical production of OSCs.

Photocatalytic water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction provide us clean and sustainable energy resources. The carbon dioxide reduction is also the redemption of the greenhouse effect. MoS/TiOphotocatalysts based on TiOnanoplates have been synthesized via a hydrothermal acidification route for water and carbon dioxide reduction reactions. This facile approach generates well dispersed Mo S3 with low crystallinity on the surface of TiOnanoplates. The as-synthesized MoS/TiOphotocatalyst showed considerable activity for both water reduction and carbon dioxide reduction. The thermal treatment effects of TiO, the loading percentage of MoSand the crystalline phase of TiOhave been investigated towards the photocatalytic performance. TiOnanoplate synthesized through hydrothermal reaction with the presence of HF acid is an ideal semiconductor material for the loading of MoSfor photocatalytic water and carbon dioxide reduction simultaneously in EDTA sacrificial solution.

The leaching kinetics of molybdenum from Ni-Mo ore in sulfuric acid solution with sodium peroxodisulfate was studied.The effects including leaching temperature, reaction time, particle size, stirring speed, and concentrations of sulfuric acid and sodium peroxodisulfate were investigated. The leaching process of molybdenum from Ni-Mo ore is controlled by the chemical reaction through the solid layer across the unreacted shrinking core. The apparent activation energy of the leaching of molybdenum is calculated to be 41.0 k J/mol and the leaching kinetics equation of molybdenum from Ni-Mo ore is expressed as1-(1-a)1/3=3405.7exp[-41030.0/(RT)]t.

Investigation on the Performance of Supported Molybdenum Carbide for the Partial Oxidation of Methane

The performance of supported and unsupported molybdenum carbide for thepartial oxidation of methane (POM) to syngas was investigated. An evaluation of the catalystsindicates that bulk molybdenum carbide has a higher methane conversion during the initial stage buta lower selectivity to CO and H_2/CO ratio in the products. The rapid deactivation of the catalystis also a significant problem. However, the supported molybdenum carbide catalyst shows a muchhigher methane conversion, increased selectivity and significantly improved catalytic stability. Thecharacterization by XRD and BET specific area measurements depict an improved dispersion ofmolybdenum carbide when using alumina as a carrier. The bulk or the supported molybdenum carbideexists in the β-MO_2C phase, while it is transformed into molybdenum dioxide postcatalysis which isan important cause of molybdenum carbide deactivation.

Efficient solar fuel production enabled by an iodide oxidation reaction on atomic layer deposited MoS_(2)

Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)as a half-anodic reaction of water splitting hinders the overall reaction efficiency owing to its thermodynamic and kinetic limitations.Iodide oxidation reaction(IOR)with low thermodynamic barrier and rapid reaction kinetics is a promising alternative to the OER.Herein,we present a molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))electrocatalyst for a high-efficiency and remarkably durable anode enabling IOR.MoS_(2)nanosheets deposited on a porous carbon paper via atomic layer deposition show an IOR current density of 10 mA cm^(–2)at an anodic potential of 0.63 V with respect to the reversible hydrogen electrode owing to the porous substrate as well as the intrinsic iodide oxidation capability of MoS_(2)as confirmed by theoretical calculations.The lower positive potential applied to the MoS_(2)-based heterostructure during IOR electrocatalysis prevents deterioration of the active sites on MoS_(2),resulting in exceptional durability of 200 h.Subsequently,we fabricate a two-electrode system comprising a MoS_(2)anode for IOR combined with a commercial Pt@C catalyst cathode for hydrogen evolution reaction.Moreover,the photovoltaic–electrochemical hydrogen production device comprising this electrolyzer and a single perovskite photovoltaic cell shows a record-high current density of 21 mA cm^(–2)at 1 sun under unbiased conditions.
