Abstract:
Uniform MoO₃ nanobelts and nanomaterials with various morphology are successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method with nitric acid as additive. The obtained MoO₃ nanomaterials were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, SAED and TEM. In addition, the photocatalytic property of MoO₃ nanomaterials have been studied, showing the excellent photocatalytic property for degradation of rhodamine-B (RhB) under simulated sunlight irradiation (visible light).

Single Crystal and Powder X-ray Diffraction
X-ray crystallography is a technique that uses X-rays to study the structure of molecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments are routinely carried out with either single-crystal or powdered samples.
Single-crystal XRD:
Single-crystal XRD allows for absolute structure determination. With single-crystal XRD data, the exact atomic positions can be observed, and thus bond lengths and angles can be determined. This...
