Rietveld Refinement, Morphology, and Optical and Photoluminescence Properties of a β-Ag1.94Cu0.06MoO4 Solid Solution

“…The normalized intensities are different, suggesting replacement of the Cu 2+ ions. [1][2][3]5 3.3. UV−Vis by DRS.…”

“…21,22 However, β-Ag 2 MoO 4 has an effective photon absorption in the ultraviolet region, which is limited to several photonics applications. 4,5 For this reason, the insertion of dopants on these materials such as rare-earth metals have been extensively studied. 2 Although the rare-earth metals are attractive candidates as dopants, a reduction in the availability coupled with demand has led to increased prices for these compounds.…”

“…Molybdenum oxide compounds are a well-known semiconductor family that has been investigated for several applications such as catalysts, − sensors, , photocatalysts, , microbial agents, , and photoluminescence (PL). − Silver molybdate (Ag 2 MoO 4 ) is an important member of this family and has two polymorphs: α-Ag 2 MoO 4 with a tetragonal structure and α-Ag 2 MoO 4 , which exhibits a cubic spinel-like structure. ,, Therefore, stick, flower, and potato morphologies have been synthesized for these materials. β-Ag 2 MoO 4 has aroused great interest because of its good chemical stability at high temperatures, in addition to presenting a range of applications in different fields including energy storage, antimicrobial agents, , photocatalysis, , and PL. , However, β-Ag 2 MoO 4 has an effective photon absorption in the ultraviolet region, which is limited to several photonics applications. , For this reason, the insertion of dopants on these materials such as rare-earth metals have been extensively studied .
