Insight of Enhanced Redox Chemistry for Porous MoO2 Carbon-Derived Framework as Polysulfide Reservoir in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

“…Molybdenum dioxide (MoO 2 ), by virtue of its good conductivity of approximately 2.0 × 10 –4 Ω cm, superior catalytic effect, and fairly good adsorption ability toward polysulfides, − is a promising host candidate for LSB application. Herein, a model Li–S battery setup using three-dimensional porous MoO 2 /C/S–NCs (nano-octahedron) as the electrode was selected.…”

“…33−35 Such material designs and chemistry inspired us to focus on not only exploring novel conductive and catalytic host materials, but also understanding the detailed bonding interactions at the molecular level. Molybdenum dioxide (MoO 2 ), by virtue of its good conductivity of approximately 2.0 × 10 −4 Ω cm, 36 superior catalytic effect, 37 and fairly good adsorption ability toward polysulfides, 38−41 is a promising host candidate for LSB application. Herein, a model Li−S battery setup using threedimensional porous MoO 2 /C/S−NCs (nano-octahedron) as the electrode was selected.…”

Single-crystalline orthorhombic molybdenum oxide nanobelts: synthesis and photocatalytic properties

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] In addition, it has been found to be a good precursor for the synthesis of some important materials such as MoO 2 , MoS 2 , MoSe 2 and Mo, etc. [25][26][27][28][29][30] Molybdenum trioxide usually has three forms: the well-known thermodynamically stable orthorhombic MoO 3 (a-MoO 3 ), metastable monoclinic MoO 3 (b-MoO 3 ) and hexagonal MoO 3 (h-MoO 3 ). Among them, a-MoO 3 has attracted most attention because of its double-layered planar structure.…”

From MoO3 Nanobelts to MoO2 Nanorods: Structure Transformation and Electrical Transport

“…4Ϫ11 The molybdenum oxide crystal films may be used as solar cells and heated reflective films because of the favorable electrical properties. 12 The metals can be accessed in these molybdenum-based materials to form the stable coordination environments and have been used widely in the petrochemical industry for selective oxidation and isomerization of hydrocarbons. 13 Similarly, the shape of the nanocrystals is a crucial parameter in the determination of their properties.…”

“…Developed techniques to control the size promote the potential application of molybdenum oxide in recent years. − Molybdenum oxide materials are particularly attractive among the transition-metal oxides due to their unusual chemistry produced by the multiple valence states. Nanostructured molybdenum oxide with high activity can be used in a wide variety of applications such as cathodes in rechargeable batteries, field-emission devices, solid lubricants, superconductors, thermoelectric materials, and electrochromic devices. − The molybdenum oxide crystal films may be used as solar cells and heated reflective films because of the favorable electrical properties . The metals can be accessed in these molybdenum-based materials to form the stable coordination environments and have been used widely in the petrochemical industry for selective oxidation and isomerization of hydrocarbons .…”
