Flower-like hierarchical h-MoO3: new findings of efficient visible light driven nano photocatalyst for methylene blue degradation
Abstract
Hexagonal molybdenum oxide (h-MoO3) nanocrystals with a flower-like hierarchical structure have been successfully synthesized by a solution based self assembly route. The as-synthesized h-MoO3 was recognized as a photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under various experimental conditions. Initially, the as-synthesized h-MoO3 was characterized by different physico-chemical techniques in order to study and reveal the structural, functional, morphological, and optical properties. The results indicated that the photocatalyst has a hexagonal crystal structure with an average crystallite size of 46 nm. The morphology analysis has proved that the h-MoO3 comprises one dimensional (1D) rods with a hexagonal cross section. The possible formation mechanism is proposed as a self assembly process for nucleation and an Ostwald ripening mechanism for particle growth. The optical band gap investigation showed that the Eg value of h-MoO3 (2.94 eV) lies in the visible region and can be an appropriate candidate for visible light photocatalytic application. Furthermore, the experimental observations demonstrate an excellent photocatalytic performance of h-MoO3 in the degradation of MB under visible light irradiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
