A heterojunction photodiode with NIR photoresponse using solution processable pyrite FeS(2) nanocrystal ink is demonstrated which has the advantages of earth-abundance and non-toxicity. The device consists of a FeS(2) nanocrystal (NC) thin film sandwiched with semiconducting metal oxides with a

The electronic structures at the MoO(3)∕Co interface were investigated using synchrotron-based ultraviolet and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that interfacial chemical reactions lead to the reduction of Mo oxidation states and the formation of Co-O bonds. These interfacial chemical

We report an atmospheric, catalyst-free, rapid flame synthesis technique for growing single, branched, and flower-like α-MoO(3) nanobelt arrays on diverse substrates. The growth rate, morphology, and surface coverage density of the α-MoO(3) nanobelts were controlled by varying the flame equivalence

The formation of MoO(3) sheets of nanoscale thickness is described. They are made from several fundamental sheets of orthorhombic alpha-MoO(3), which can be processed in large quantities via a low cost synthesis route that combines thermal evaporation and mechanical exfoliation.
