Silver incorporated α-MoO3 nanoplates to nanorods: Exploring the effects of doping on structural, morphological and optical properties

Novel electrospun bead-like Ag2MoO4 nanofibers coated on Ni foam for visible light-driven heterogeneous photocatalysis and high-performance supercapacitor electrodes

“…Phase defects, crystallite size, size distribution, and morphology can affect their band gap values. 57 According to the XRD results, the lattice strain of Ag 2 MoO 4 is smaller than that of MoO 3 which can change the band gap values. 52 On the other hand, the Burstein–Moss (B–M) shift can be another reason for the band gap increase.…”

“…The Fermi level rise in the conduction band (CB) can raise the E g due to the B-M shift. 57,58 Also, indirect electronic transitions can affect the optical absorption spectra of MoO 3 and Ag 2 MoO 4 . In this physical phenomenon, electrons in minimum energy in the CB states may return to maximum energy in the valence band (VB) states following the electronic absorption process, but only at distinct points of the Brillouin zone.…”

An Experimental and Simulation Study of Cu6BiAgI10 Photovoltaics with Various Organic and Inorganic Hole Transport Layers for the Improved Photovoltaic Performance of Solar Cells

“…The XRD analysis is crucial for the development of new solar cell materials to determine their structural properties such as the size of the crystal and shape, as well as orientation and imperfections, which could impact the efficiency of solar cells. − …”

Structural, optical, magnetic, and enhanced antibacterial properties of hydrothermally synthesized Sm-incorporating α-MoO32D-layered nanoplates

“…With the inclusion of Sm 3+ atoms, the lattice strain ( ε ) and dislocation density ( δ ) develop in the α-MoO 3 lattice which can be determined from the Stokes–Wilson formula eqn (3) and eqn (4) , respectively. 62 …”
