TL;DR: In this article, a mass spectometric analysis of the vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with powdered molybdenum trioxide, as sampled from a Knudsen effusion cell, has shown that the vapor phase consists of Mo3O9, Mo4O12 and Mo5O15 molecules.
Abstract: Mass spectometric analysis of the vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with powdered molybdenum trioxide, as sampled from a Knudsen effusion cell, has shown that the vapor phase consists predominantly of Mo3O9, Mo4O12 and Mo5O15 molecules. Utilizing the Clausius‐Clapeyron equation, individual heats of sublimation have been determined to be 80.5±1.5, 93.6±1.6 and 105.6±3.5 kcal/mole respectively at 850° K. The heats of formation and third law entropies have been evaluated for each of these molecules.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of 2-aminopyridine (2ampy) in the formation of the different solids under hydrothermal conditions is discussed, and the structures of these materials were established by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction techniques.
Abstract: The hydrothermal reaction of an aqueous ammonium heptamolybdate solution with first-row transition metal salts in the presence of 2-aminopyridine at around 180 °C and under autogenous pressure yields several molybdates, such as the 1D chains in (C5N2H7)4Mo8O26 (1), zero-dimensional (C5N2H7)6Mo7O24·3H2O (2), and the first synthesis of Lindgrenite [Cu3Mo2O8(OH)2 (3)] The structures of these materials were established by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystal structures of wolframite-based MnMoO4 (4) and ZnMoO4 (5) were established by powder X-ray diffraction. The role of 2-aminopyridine (2-ampy) in the formation of the different solids under hydrothermal conditions is discussed. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)

TL;DR: In this article, a chemical etching method has been developed for restructuring these thermally processed catalysts using a 0.1 M NaOH etchant, where the surface steps, ledges, and terraces are created.
Abstract: Crystalline catalysts of orthorhombic MoO3 have been prepared via a vapor phase deposition method, and their crystallographic structure has been affirmed by XRD and FTIR investigations. A chemical etching method has been developed for restructuring these thermally processed catalysts. Using a 0.1 M NaOH etchant, {001} and {100} plane areas of the catalysts can be significantly increased while surface steps, ledges, and terraces are created. Moreover, alternate crystal plane combinations of either {100} and {010} or the {001} and {010} are observed on crystal edges and rectangular etch pits in the basal planes {010}. Both materials chemistry of MoO3 and etching mechanisms have been studied on the basis of the surface morphological evolution of etching patterns of the catalysts. Technological merits and the processing parameters of this new method have also been identified. Following the findings of the current work, it is believed that the chemically carved surface structures may be crucial for certain MoO...

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the benefits and methods for interlayer modification of layered transition metal oxides, which include the presence of structural water, solvent cointercalation and exchange, cation exchange, polymers, and small molecules, exfoliation, and exfoliated heterostructures, is presented.
Abstract: Layered transition metal oxides are some of the most important materials for high energy and power density electrochemical energy storage, such as batteries and electrochemical capacitors. These oxides can efficiently store charge via intercalation of ions into the interlayer vacant sites of the bulk material. The interlayer can be tuned to modify the electrochemical environment of the intercalating species to allow improved interfacial charge transfer and/or solid-state diffusion. The ability to fine-tune the solid-state environment for energy storage is highly beneficial for the design of layered oxides for specific mechanisms, including multivalent ion intercalation. This review focuses on the benefits as well as the methods for interlayer modification of layered oxides, which include the presence of structural water, solvent cointercalation and exchange, cation exchange, polymers, and small molecules, exfoliation, and exfoliated heterostructures. These methods are an important design tool for further development of layered oxides for electrochemical energy storage applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural aspects of the crystallographic shear planes and the resulting thermoelectric properties of transition metal oxides with adaptive structures have been investigated with respect to their thermal properties.
Abstract: Thermoelectric devices can help to tackle future challenges in the energy sector through the conversion of waste heat directly into usable electric energy. For a wide applicability low-cost materials with reasonable thermoelectric performances and cost-efficient preparation techniques are required. In this context metal oxides are an interesting class of materials because of their inherent high-temperature stability and relative high sustainability. Their thermoelectric performance, however, needs to be improved for wide application. Compounds with adaptive structures are a very interesting class of materials. A slight reduction of early transition metal oxides generates electrons as charge carriers and crystallographic shear planes as structure motif. The crystallographic shear planes lead to a reduction of intrinsic thermal conductivity. At the same time, the electronic transport properties can be tuned by the degree of reduction. So far only a few transition metal oxides with adaptive structures have been investigated with respect to their thermoelectric properties, leaving much room for improvement. This review gives an overview of thermoelectric oxides, highlights the structural aspects of the crystallographic shear planes and the resulting thermoelectric properties.

TL;DR: A powder neutron diffraction study and subsequent line profile analysis of the magnetic structure of iron(III) molybdate at 2 K indicate that it is a four-sublattice antiferromagnet containing four crystallographically distinct iron atoms in the space group P2/sub 1/a (b unique) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A powder neutron diffraction study and subsequent line-profile analysis of the magnetic structure of iron(III) molybdate at 2 K indicate that it is a four-sublattice antiferromagnet containing four crystallographically distinct iron atoms in the space group P2/sub 1//a (b unique). An analysis of covalency in iron(III) molybdate reveals a higher degree of covalency (A/sub sigma//sup 2/ + 2A/sub ..pi..//sup 2/ + A/sub s//sup 2/ = 9.15%) in the iron(III) to oxygen bonds than is found in the structurally related iron(III) sulfate (6.1%). A Moessbauer-effect study indicates that, at 11.8 K and above, iron(III) molybdate is paramagnetic with parameters typical of an octahedral high-spin iron(III) compound. Between 11.72 and 11.59 K both ordered and paramagnetic phases coexist. Below 11.72 K the Moessbauer spectrum shows the presence of spontaneous magnetic ordering with four inequivalent magnetic hyperfine fields. On three of the iron sites, the hyperfine fields are rather similar while the fourth site exhibits a significantly greater hyperfine field. The differences between various combinations of the four hyperfine fields show maxima at about 10 K. At 1.14 K the field values are 540, 529, 519, and 509 kOe. The isomer shifts for each site are similar at ca. 0.52 mm/s, and themore » quadrupole shifts are small at ca. +- 0.01 mm/s. Magnetic susceptibility studies confirm that the material is paramagnetic above ca. 20 K, with an effective magnetic moment of 5.92 ..mu../sub B/ and a Curie-Weiss temperature of -55.6 K. The magnetic susceptibility shows a peak of ca. 10 K, the magnitude of which increases with decreasing applied field between 45.81 and 9.95 kG. 8 figures, 2 tables.« less
