HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS OF MOLYBDENUM DIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES DIRECTLY ONTO A METAL SUBSTRATE

摘要

Provided are a method of synthesizing molybdenum dioxide (M0O2) directly onto a metal substrate to form a coating on the surface of the substrate, products having a coated metal surface produced by the disclosed method, and their uses to decontaminate water and/or air. The coated metal surface disclosed herein also may be used as a structural component of a Li-ion battery, a supercapacitor, or a sensor for detecting a molecule.
