A study conducted by researchers at Daegu Catholic University in South Korea introduces advanced methods that combine chemical vapor transport (CVT) with quenching effects to create molybdenum oxide nanoparticle aggregates arrays consisting of fine nanoparticles (NPs) in a layered structure, grown vertically on individual carbon fibers of a carbon fiber paper (CFP) substrate.

Researchers from Morocco have investigated the Dirac electron scattering problem in quantum dots of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) quantum dots subject to magnetic flux. Analytical expressions for the eigenstates, scattering coefficients, scattering efficiency, and radial component of the reflected electron flow were developed by solving the Dirac equation.

A recent study carried out by Yu Jiang et al at Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Thin Films, Soochow University, Suzhou, China has investigated the Molybdenum-based materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). SIBs are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for energy storage required for renewable energy sources. The main difficulty is finding a suitable anode material, and molybdenum-based materials are expected to solve this problem.

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh recently enhanced the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting capability of bilayer photoanode nanotubes through simple but effective molybdenum (Mo) doping method.
