“…Metal molybdates are crucial inorganic materials, because of their unique physical and chemical properties. In recent years, molybdate materials have attracted more and more attention, because of the applications in various fields, including industrial catalysis, , energy storage devices, , scintillator materials, gas sensors, , and photoluminescence. , Among the transition-metal molybdates, copper molybdate has demonstrated good catalytic activity in various processes, such as photodegradation, benzylic alcohol oxidation, the combustion of carbon black, the cross-coupling reaction, , the esterification of oleic acid, and ammonia borane hydrolysis. , However, the state-of-the-art copper molybdate catalysts are bulky with limited porosity (<15 m 2 /g), which restricts the performance for heterogeneous catalysis.…”
