Hydrothermal Synthesis and Gas Sensing of Monoclinic MoO3 Nanosheets
NANOMATERIALS(2020)
摘要
Effects of different reaction parameters in the hydrothermal synthesis of molybdenum oxides (MoO3) were investigated and monoclinic (beta-) MoO3 was prepared hydrothermally for the first time. Various temperatures (90/210 degrees C, and as a novelty 240 degrees C) and durations (3/6 h) were used. At 240 degrees C, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and CrCl3 additives were also tested. Both the reaction temperatures and durations played a significant role in the formation of the products. At 90 degrees C, h-MoO3 was obtained, while at 240 degrees C the orthorhombic (alpha-) MoO3 formed with hexagonal rod-like and nanofibrous morphology, respectively. The phase transformation between these two phases was observed at 210 degrees C. At this temperature, the 3 h reaction time resulted in the mixture of h- and alpha-MoO3, but 6 h led to pure alpha-MoO3. With CTAB the product was bare o-MoO3, however, when CrCl3 was applied, pure metastable m-MoO3 formed with the well-crystallized nanosheet morphology. The gas sensing of the MoO3 polymorphs was tested to H-2, which was the first such gas sensing study in the case of m-WO3. Monoclinic MoO3 was found to be more sensitive in H-2 sensing than o-MoO3. This initial gas sensing study indicates that m-MoO3 has promising gas sensing properties and this MoO3 polymorph is promising to be studied in detail in the future.
