Transition metal oxides (TMO) have been successfully used as electrocatalytically active materials for CO reduction in some studies. Because of the lack of understanding of the catalytic behavior of TMOs, electrochemical methods are used to investigate the CO reduction in thin-film nanostructured electrodes. In this context, nanostructured thin films of FeO and MoO in an aprotic medium of acetonitrile have been used to study the CO reduction reaction. In addition, a synergistic effect between CO and the TMO surface is observed. Faradic cathodic processes not only start at lower potentials than those reported with metal electrodes, but also an increase in capacitive currents is observed, which is directly related to an increase in oxygen vacancies. Finally, the results obtained show CO as a product of the reduction.

The deactivation of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts caused by alkali metal poisoning remains an insurmountable challenge. In this study, we examined the impact of Na poisoning on the performance of Fe and Mo co-doped TiO (FeMoTiO) catalysts in the SCR reaction and revealed the related alkali resistance mechanism. On the obtained FeMoTiO catalyst, the synergistic catalytic effect of uniformly dispersed FeO and MoO species leads to remarkable catalytic activity, with over 90% NO conversion achieved in a wide temperature range of 210-410 °C.

Strontium ferromolybdate, SrFeMoO, is an important member of the family of double perovskites with the possible technological applications in the field of spintronics and solid oxide fuel cells. Its preparation a multi-step ceramic route or various wet chemistry-based routes is notoriously difficult. The present work demonstrates that SrFeMoO can be mechanosynthesized at ambient temperature in air directly from its precursors (SrO, α-Fe, MoO) in the form of nanostructured powders, without the need for solvents and/or calcination under controlled oxygen fugacity.

Adsorption of molybdate (Mo(VI)) on the surfaces of ferrihydrite is one of the most critical processes that control its mobility and fate in the environment. However, the sorption mechanism and the effect of pH on the speciation of Mo(VI) on ferrihydrite surfaces are not well understood. In this study, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Mo K-edge and L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) have been utilized to characterize the Mo(VI) species sorbed on ferrihydrite under various pH conditions.

Lithium-rich complex transition-metal oxides LiMoO, LiRuO, LiRuO, LiNbO, LiFeO, LiMnO and their derivatives are of interest for high-capacity battery electrodes. Here, we report a first-principles density-functional theory study of the atomic and electronic structure of these materials using the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) screened hybrid functional which treats all orbitals in the materials on equal footing. Dimerization of the transition-metal ions is found to occur in layered LiMoO, in both fully lithiated and partially delithiated compounds.

Certain species from the extremely thermoacidophilic genus directly oxidize Fe(II) to Fe(III), which in turn catalyzes abiotic solubilization of copper from chalcopyrite to facilitate recovery of this valuable metal. In this process, the redox status of copper does not change as it is mobilized. species can also catalyze the release of metals from ores with a change in the metal's redox state.
