Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, transition metal oxyanions, especially vanadate-, molybdate-, and tungsdate-based catalyst materials have been widely studied in many research fields, such as catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, optical fibers, lasers, energy conversion and storage, water splitting, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, photoluminescence, humidity sensors, etc. Several nanostructures and morphologies of these materials have also been reported including flower-like, nest-like, nanowires, nanoplates, thin films, nanorods, dendrites, doughnut-shaped microstructures, nanopowders, etc. These materials have usually been synthesized through simple and cost-effective methods such as hydro/solvothermal methods, co-precipitation methods, sonochemical methods, combustion methods, sol–gel methods, and solid-state methods. Due to their attractive unique properties, including physicochemical properties, stable crystal structure, high photostability, good catalytic convertor ability, corrosion inhibitor redox behavior, and high electronic conductivity, transition metal oxyanions have been extensively investigated in photo-/electrochemical applications.

This Special Issue aims to cover all types of metal vanadate-, molybdate-, and tungstate-based catalyst materials used in photo-/electrochemical applications. This also includes the synthesis, materials’ characterization, property evaluation, composite material synthesis, biomolecule detection, environmental/pharmaceutical pollutant detection and degradation through photo/electrocatalytic oxidations and reductions, photodegradation, electrochemical sensing, energy storage, and conversion application. The issue also concerns experimental and theoretical evaluation to understand the photo/electrocatalytic reaction kinetics of potential catalysts. Original research papers, short communications, and review articles are invited for submission.

The frequent occurrence of furazolidone (FZD) in environmental fluids reveals the ongoing increase in use and raises concerns about the need of monitoring it. To investigate the electrochemical behavior of FZD, a novel sensor of manganese molybdenum oxide (MMO) micro rods adorned three-dimensional porous carbon (PC) electrocatalyst was constructed. The crystalline structure and surface morphology of the MMO/PC composite was characterized by XRD, Raman, FESEM, and HR-TEM. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and amperometric(i-t) methods were used to assess the electrocatalytic activity of modified electrodes. In the presence of FZD, the as-fabricated MMO/PC modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) performed better at lower potentials with a greater peak current than other modified GCE. These results emanate from the synergistic effect of the MMO/PC suspension on the GCE. The electrochemical behavior of the amperometric(i-t) technique was used to determine FZD. Amperometric(i-t) detection yielded linear dynamic ranges of 150 nM to 41.05 µM and 41.05 to 471.05 µM with detection limits of 30 nM. The MMO/PC hybrid sensor was also effectively used to detect FZD in environmental fluids, yielding ultra-trace level detection. Full article

Nanostructured Bismuth-based materials are promising electrodes for highly efficient electrochemical reduction processes such as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, a novel sort of nanocomposite made up of partially reduced Bi2O3 into metallic Bi anchored on a 3D network of Ni-foam as a high-performance catalyst for electrochemical hydrogen reduction. The application of the hybrid material for HER is shown. The high catalytic activity of the fabricated electrocatalyst arises from the co-operative effect of Bi/Bi2O3 and Ni-foam which provides a highly effective surface area combined with the highly porous structure of Ni-foam for efficient charge and mass transport. The advantages of the electrode for the electrochemical reduction processes such as high current density, low overpotential, and high stability of the electrode are revealed. An overall comparison of our as-prepared electrocatalyst with recently reported works on related work is done. Full article

As a sustainable and clean energy source, hydrogen can be generated by electrolytic water splitting (i.e., a hydrogen evolution reaction, HER). Compared with conventional noble metal catalysts (e.g., Pt), Mo based materials have been deemed as a promising alternative, with a relatively low cost and comparable catalytic performances. In this review, we demonstrate a comprehensive summary of various Mo based materials, such as MoO2, MoS2 and Mo2C. Moreover, state of the art designs of the catalyst structures are presented, to improve the activity and stability for hydrogen evolution, including Mo based carbon composites, heteroatom doping and heterostructure construction. The structure–performance relationships relating to the number of active sites, electron/ion conductivity, H/H2O binding and activation energy, as well as hydrophilicity, are discussed in depth. Finally, conclusive remarks and future works are proposed. Full article
