文摘The deployment of non-precious metal catalysts for the production of COx-free hydrogen via the ammonia decomposition reaction(ADR)presents a promising yet great challenge.In the present study,two crystal structures of α-MoC and β-Mo_(2)C catalysts with different Mo/C ratios were synthesized,and their ammonia decomposition performance as well as structural evolution in ADR was investigated.The β-Mo_(2)C catalyst,characterized by a higher Mo/C ratio,demonstrated a remarkable turnover frequency of 1.3 s^(-1),which is over tenfold higher than that ofα-MoC(0.1 s^(-1)).An increase in the Mo/C ratio of molybdenum carbide revealed a direct correlation between the surface Mo/C ratio and the hydrogen yield.The transient response surface reaction indicated that the combination of N*and N*derived from NH_(3) dissociation represents the rate-determining step in the ADR,andβ-Mo2C exhibited exceptional proficiency in facilitating this pivotal step.Concurrently,the accumulation of N*species on the carbide surface could induce the phase transition of molybdenum carbide to nitride,which follows a topological transformation.It is discovered that such phase evolution was affected by the Mo-C surface and reaction temperature simultaneously.When the kinetics of combination of N*was accelerated by rising temperatures and its accumulation on the carbide surface was mitigated,β-Mo_(2)C maintained its carbide phase,preventing nitridation during the ADR at 810℃.Our results contribute to an in-depth understanding of the molybdenum carbides’catalytic properties in ADR and highlight the nature of the carbide-nitride phase transition in the reaction.

文摘Molybdenum nitride,renowned for its exceptional physical and chemical properties,has garnered extensive attention and research interest.In this study,we employed first-principles calculations and the CALYPSO structure prediction method to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the crystal structures and electronic properties of molybdenum nitride(Mo_(x)N_(1-x))under high pressure.We discovered two novel high-pressure phases:Imm2-MoN_(3) and Cmmm-MoN_(4),and confirmed their stability through the analysis of elastic constants and phonon dispersion curves.Notably,the MoN_(4) phase,with its high Vickers hardness of 36.9 GPa,demonstrates potential as a hard material.The results of this study have broadened the range of known high-pressure phases of molybdenum nitride,providing the groundwork for future theoretical and experimental researches.

文摘Pre-harvest sprouting(PHS)or vivipary is a major problem affecting cereal quality and grain quantity and is primarily linked to the dysregulation of abscisic acid(ABA)biosynthesis in plants.Therefore,elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing seed dormancy is crucial for developing strategies to improve crop productivity.In this study,we identified a novel viviparous maize mutant,viviparous-like 5(vp-like5),which exhibits precocious germination in developing seeds.Through map-based cloning,we discovered that ZmCNX6,which encodes a small subunit of molybdopterin synthase essential for molybdenum cofactor(MoCo)biosynthesis,is the causal gene responsible for the vp-like5 phenotype.Biochemical assays have demonstrated significantly reduced activities of MoCo-dependent enzymes,including aldehyde oxidase(AO),xanthine dehydrogenase(XDH),and nitrate reductase(NR),in vplike5.AO is essential for the ABA biosynthesis,and the observed ABA deficiency in vp-like5 likely drives the viviparous phenotype.Expression analysis showed that ZmCNX6 was stably expressed during seed development,indicating its significant role in seed development.Furthermore,overexpression of ZmCNX6 not only enhanced the activities of MoCo-dependent enzymes but also improved drought tolerance in maize.Collectively,our study revealed ZmCNX6 as a multifunctional hub coordinating MoCo metabolism,ABA-dependent dormancy regulation,and abiotic stress responses,offering a potential target for simultaneously mitigating vivipary and improving drought resistance in maize.

文摘This study investigates the electrochemical behavior of molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))as an anode in Li-ion batteries,focusing on the extra capacity phenomenon.Employing advanced characterization methods such as in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and transmission electron microscopy,the research unravels the complex structural and chemical evolution of MoS_(2) throughout its cycling.A key discovery is the identification of a unique Li intercalation mechanism in MoS_(2),leading to the formation of reversible Li_(2)MoS_(2) phases that contribute to the extra capacity of the MoS_(2) electrode.Density function theory calculations suggest the potential for overlithiation in MoS_(2),predicting Li5MoS_(2) as the most energetically favorable phase within the lithiation–delithiation process.Additionally,the formation of a Li-rich phase on the surface of Li_(4)MoS_(2) is considered energetically advantageous.After the first discharge,the battery system engages in two main reactions.One involves operation as a Li-sulfur battery within the carbonate electrolyte,and the other is the reversible intercalation and deintercalation of Li in Li_(2)MoS_(2).The latter reaction contributes to the extra capacity of the battery.The incorporation of reduced graphene oxide as a conductive additive in MoS_(2) electrodes notably improves their rate capability and cycling stability.

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)have undoubtedly become one of the most promising battery systems due to their high energy density and the cost-effectiveness of sulfur cathodes.However,challenges,such as the shuttle effect from soluble long-chain lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)and the low conductivity of active materials,hinder their commercialization.Under this circumstance,molybdenum sulfide(MoS_(2))has attracted widespread attention due to its unique physicochemical properties,particularly its capability to mitigate the shuttle effect in LSBs through electrostatic or chemical bonds.Nonetheless,the industrial application of MoS_(2)in LSBs is limited by the inertness of its basal surface and inadequate electron transfer properties.This review mainly introduces various modification strategies of MoS_(2)materials in LSBs and their effects on electrochemical and catalytic performance.Unlike previous reviews and related papers,detailed discussions were conducted on the specific mechanisms of each modification strategy,including(1)shape manipulation,(2)support engineering,(3)heterostructure engineering,(4)defect engineering,(5)interlayer engineering,(6)phase engineering,(7)strain engineering,(8)hybridization.Comprehensive conclusions and outlook on the development of MoS_(2)as an abundant electrocatalyst for LSBs are also discussed in the end.

文摘Due to its high electrical conductivity and platinum-like electronic structure,molybdenum phosphide(MoP)has attracted extensive attention as a potential catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)by water splitting.Nevertheless,in the oxygen evolution reaction(OER),the electrocatalytic performance of MoP did not achieve satisfactory results.Therefore,novel nitrogen-doped carbon-encapsulated Ladoped MoP nanoparticles(La-MoP@N/C)are synthesized,which show outstanding durability and electrocatalytic activity in both HER and OER.Detailed structural characterization and calculations confirm that La doping not only effectively adjusts the electron density around Mo and P atoms,accelerates the adsorption and desorption processes,but also increases the number of active sites.Low overpotentials of 113 and 388 mV for HER and OER at 10 mA cm−2 are achieved with the optimized La0.025-Mo0.975P@N/C.Furthermore,the two-electrode electrolyzer assembled with La0.025-Mo0.975P@N/C also presents impressive water splitting performance.This study indicates that rare earth doping can be used as an efficient strategy to control the local electronic structure of phosphides precisely,which can also be extended to other electrocatalysts.

文摘Molybdenum(Mo)alloys are essential for applications requiring outstanding mechanical properties at high temperatures across various industrial sectors.Understanding and predicting the creep properties of Mo alloys is crucial for service safety and the design of new materials.This study introduces a physicsbased crystallographic creep model dedicated to the characteristic hierarchical microstructure of Mo–La_(2)O_(3)alloys.By sourcing most parameters from existing literature and calibrating others within recommended ranges,the model efficiently predicts creep behavior beyond its initial calibration scope.Through the integration of microstructure descriptors,we systematically explored the impact of different microstructural features on the creep behavior and identified the underlying mechanisms.This analysis yielded two pivotal concepts:the minimum acceptable grain size and the necessary nanoparticle number density.These metrics,readily obtainable from the model,quantify the requisite grain size and nanoparticle content to achieve the target steady-state creep rates for operational demands,thus providing essential insights for the creep condition-oriented design of Mo–La_(2)O_(3)alloys.The model is also expected to be adaptable for developing other Mo alloys reinforced by second phase particles,aimed at achieving desired creep properties under specified conditions,assuming that relevant parameters are accessible through literature or lower-scale simulations.
文摘This study examines the effects of friction stir welding(FSW)and post-weld heat treatment(PWHT)on the grain boundary character distribution and corrosion resistance of cross sectional(top and bottom)regions of nickel-and molybdenum-free high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel(HNASS).FSW at 400 rpm and 30 mm/min resulted in finer grains(4.18μm)and higher coincident site lattice(CSL)boundaries(32.3%)at the top of the stir zone(SZ)due to dynamic recrystallization(DRX).PWHT at 900℃for 1 h led to grain coarsening(12.91μm the bottom SZ)but enhanced CSL boundaries from 24.6%to 30.2%,improving grain boundary stability.PWHT reduced the kernel average misorientation(KAM)by 14.9%in the SZ-top layer and 20.4%in the SZ-bottom layer,accompanied by a 25%decrease in hardness in the SZ-top layer and 26.7%in the SZ-bottom layer,indicating strain recovery and reduced dislocation density.Potentiodynamic polarization tests(PDP)showed a 18%increase in pitting potential and a 76%reduction in corrosion rate after PWHT.The improvement in corrosion resistance is attributed to the increase inΣ3 twin boundaries,which enhance grain boundary stability and reduce susceptibility to localized corrosion.These findings highlight the role of PWHT in refining the microstructure and strengthening corrosion resistance,making HNASS a promising material for demanding applications.
文摘The dimensionality of quantum materials strongly affects their physical properties.Although many emergent phenomena,such as charge-density wave and Luttinger liquid behavior,are well understood in one-dimensional(1D)systems,the generalization to explore them in higher dimensional systems is still a challenging task.In this study,we aim to bridge this gap by systematically investigating the crystal and electronic structures of molybdenum-oxide family compounds,where the contexture of 1D chains facilitates rich emergent properties.While the quasi-1D chains in these materials share general similarities,such as the motifs made up of MoO_(6)octahedrons,they exhibit vast complexity and remarkable tunability.We disassemble the 1D chains in molybdenum oxides with different dimensions and construct effective models to excellently fit their low-energy electronic structures obtained by ab initio calculations.Furthermore,we discuss the implications of such chains on other physical properties of the materials and the practical significance of the effective models.Our work establishes the molybdenum oxides as simple and tunable model systems for studying and manipulating the dimensionality in quantum systems.

文摘The preparation process of sodium molybdate has the disadvantages of high energy consumption,low thermal efficiency,and high raw material requirement of molybdenum trioxide,in order to realize the green and efficient development of molybdenum concentrate resources,this paper proposes a new process for efficient recovery of molybdenum from molybdenum concentrate and preparation of sodium molybdate by microwave-enhanced roasting and alkali leaching.Thermodynamic analysis indicated the feasibility of oxidation roasting of molybdenum concentrate.The effects of roasting temperature,holding time,and power-to-mass ratio on the oxidation product and leaching product sodium molybdate (Na_(2)MoO_(4)·2H_(2)O) were investigated.Under the optimal process conditions:roasting temperature of 700℃,holding time of 110 min,and power-to-mass ratio of 110 W/g,the molybdenum state of existence was converted from MoS_(2) to Mo O3.The process of preparing sodium molybdate by alkali leaching of molybdenum calcine was investigated,the optimal leaching conditions include a solution concentration of 2.5 mol/L,a liquid-to-solid ratio of 2 mL/g,a leaching temperature of 60℃,and leaching solution termination at pH 8.The optimum conditions result in a leaching rate of sodium molybdate of 96.24%.Meanwhile,the content of sodium molybdate reaches 94.08wt%after leaching and removing impurities.Iron and aluminum impurities can be effectively separated by adjusting the pH of the leaching solution with sodium carbonate solution.This research avoids the shortcomings of the traditional process and utilizes the advantages of microwave metallurgy to prepare high-quality sodium molybdate,which provides a new idea for the highvalue utilization of molybdenum concentrate.

文摘To enhance the mechanical properties of molybdenum alloys at both room and high temperatures,Mo-14Re-1CeO_(2)alloy was synthesized using the powder metallurgy method,and the corresponding microstructure and mechanical properties were characterized.The results indicate that the ultimate tensile strength of Mo-14Re-1CeO_(2)reaches 657 MPa,with a total elongation of 35.2%,significantly higher than those of pure molybdenum(453 MPa,and 7.01%).Furthermore,the compression strength of Mo-14Re-1CeO_(2)at high temperature(1200℃)achieves 355 MPa,which is still larger than that of pure molybdenum(221 MPa).It is revealed that there is a coherent interface between CeO_(2)and the Mo-14Re matrix with CeO_(2)particles uniformly distributed in both intergranular and intragranular regions.The improvements in mechanical properties are primarily attributed to the formation of Mo-Re solid solution,grain refinement,and dispersion strengthening effect of CeO_(2).
文摘Synthesis of cyclic carbonates from carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and epoxides is an effective pathway for the CO_(2) utilization.Although various metal catalysts have been reported,it is highly desirable to develop a method for the reuse or recycling of catalysts.Herein,an N-heterocyclic carbene-pyridine molybdenum complex supported over SBA-15(Mo@SBA-15)was used as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for converting CO_(2) and epoxides into cyclic carbonates.Mo@SBA-15 in combination with tetra-butylammonium bromide(TBAB)shows high catalytic activity in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates under 100℃and 1 MPa CO_(2) pressure.In addition,Mo@SBA-15 was reused seven times without any significant activity loss.

文摘Element superconductors with the single atoms provide clean and fundamental platforms for studying superconductivity.Although elements with d electrons are usually not favored by conventional BCS,the record superconducting critical temperature(T_(c))in element scandium(S_(c))has further ignited the intensive attention on transition metals.The element molybdenum(M_o)with a half-full d-orbital is studied in our work,which fills the gap in the study of Mo under high pressure and investigates the pressure dependence of superconductivity.In this work,we exhibit a robust superconductivity of Mo in the pressure range of 5 GPa to 160 GPa via high-pressure electrical transport measurements,the T_(c) varies at a rate of0.013 K/GPa to 8.56 K at 160 GPa.Moreover,the superconductivity is evidenced by the T_(c) shifting to lower temperature under applied magnetic fields,and the upper critical magnetic fields are extrapolated by the WHH equation and GL equation;the results indicate that the maximum upper critical magnetic field is estimated to be 8.24 T at 137 GPa.We further investigate the superconducting mechanism of Mo,the theoretical calculations indicate that the superconductivity can be attributed to the strong coupling between the electrons from the partially filled d band and the phonons from the frequency zone of 200-400 cm^(-1).

文摘The use of transition metal-activated peroxymonosulfate(PMS)as an advanced oxidation technology has gained recognition.This study developed a catalyst using cobaltDlanthanum bimetallic oxide supported on layered molybdenum disulfide(Mo S_(2))as a carrier.The CoDLa/Mo S_(2)catalyst was synthesised through coprecipitation,followed by calcination with an optimised metal ratio of Co:La=2:1 to activate PMS and degrade trace chloramphenicol(CAP)in water.The chemical composition of the catalyst was confirmed using X-ray diffraction(XRD)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).At catalyst and PMS dosages of 0.1 and 0.5 g·L^(-1),respectively,the degradation rate of CAP was 95%with in 30 min.The catalyst exhibitedstrong resistance to most interfering anions and maintained a high degradation rate at p H 3D11.Liquid chromatographyDmass spectrometry analysis revealed the potential degradation pathways of CAP in the CoDLa/Mo S_(2)(2:1)/PMS system.For other pollutants,such as oxytetracycline,complete degradation was achieved within 20 min,demonstrating the broad applicability of the CoDLa/Mo S_(2)(2:1)/PMS system for the degradation and removal of antibiotic organic contaminants.
