Abstract
The morphology modulation of target crystals is important for understanding their growth mechanisms and potential applications. Herein, we report a convenient method for modulating the morphology of MoO2 by controlling different growth temperatures. With an increase in growth temperature, the morphology of MoO2 changes from a nanoribbon to a nanoflake. Various characterization methods, including optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, (vertical and tilted) scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction, were performed to unveil the morphology modulation and lattice structure of MoO2. Both MoO2 nanoribbons and nanoflakes display a standing-up growth mode on c-sapphire substrates, and their basal planes are MoO2(100). Further investigations into devices based on MoS2 with Au/Ti/MoO2 electrodes show the potential applications of MoO2 in two-dimensional electrodes. These findings are helpful for the synthesis of MoO2 with different morphologies and applications in the field of optoelectronic nanodevices.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
