Synthesis and Characterization of MoO₂ Nanoplates Prepared by Thermal Evaporation of MoO₃ and S Powders

Abstract:

MoO₂ has been widely used in many fields such as catalyst, gas-senor, super capacitor and Li-ion battery electrode. In this paper, MoO₂ nanoplates were synthesized in high density and large scale on silicon substrates via simple thermal evaporation of MoO₃ and S powders at 950 °C in a tube furnace. The morphology, composition and structure of the nanoplates were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the as-synthesized nanoplates are of well crystalline structure, and the thickness of these nanoplates is in the range of 100-300 nm. The growth mechanism of the nanoparticles was proposed as a vapor-solid process.
