Thermal Annealing Effects of Molybdenum Oxide Interfacial Layer Based on Organic Solar Cells

RH and H2 Production in Reactions between ROH and Small Molybdenum Oxide Cluster Anions

“…Wang and co-workers did an extensive study on MoO 4 H − and MoO 4 CH 3 − in particular and measured >4.5 eV electron affinities for these particularly stable anions in which the Mo center is in a +6 oxidation state. 45 The observation of MoO 4 (1)…”

“…The initial distribution shows Mo 4 O y − clusters ranging from y = 5 to 12, with the suboxide Mo 4 . Additionally, in Figure 4b, a low-intensity product peak with mass corresponding to Mo 4 36,37 To compare those rate constants to the rates of Mo x O y − + ROH reactions, the same analysis will be applied here.…”

“…Additionally, in Figure 4b, a low-intensity product peak with mass corresponding to Mo 4 36,37 To compare those rate constants to the rates of Mo x O y − + ROH reactions, the same analysis will be applied here. Individual oxide peaks in the x = 2 and 3 manifolds of Mo x O y − vary as a function of alcohol (ROH) number density present in the reactor.…”

“…Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) and transition-metal-based materials are of interest in a wide range of areas including catalysis, 1−3 solar cells, 4,5 and organic electronic devices. 6,7 The catalytic activity of TMOs has been attributed to their ability to support multiple low-energy electronic states and the ease with which electrons can be donated/accepted in the process of making/breaking bonds.…”

“…Our group has performed reactivity studies of molybdenum and tungsten cluster anions with CO, 32,33 CO 2 , 34,35 36,37 and CH 4 and C 2 H 6 . 38 In the water reactivity studies, sequential oxidation with H 2 production was generally observed for the more reduced clusters…”
