Atomic coordinates for the molybdenum-ruthenium telluride of composition Mo4.5Ru1.5Te8 have been refined by analysis of an X-ray powder diffraction pattern using the Rietveld method. The results confirm the presence of a cluster containing both molybdenum and ruthenium atoms. The compound Mo5Ru1...

The influence of molybdenum on the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) performance and SO2 durability of V/Mo-Ti catalysts was investigated. The characteristics of the catalysts were investigated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, field-emission transmission electron microsco...

Post-deposition annealing of thin films can induce significant changes in their properties. Annealing in vacuum is particularly important because it elucidates the influence of thermal energy rather than the effects of chemical interactions with a specific ambient. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is on...

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have gained interest owing to their low-cost, abundancy and predominant conductivity. However, forthright comparisons of transition metal chalcogenides for HER are scarcely conducted. In this work, we report the synt...

Molybdenum Telluride (MoTe2) is widely used in the field of optoelectronics because of its excellent electron mobility and good environmental stability. Recent advances have shown that the reduction in the thickness of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials allows for greater surface area and mo...

Optical and electron microscopy on dimolybdenum carbide single crystals revealed a veining substructure on all planes of the as-grown crystals.
