Green synsthesis of copper molybedate and its various application in sensing, supercapacitors and photocatalytic activity

Abstract

In the current word of high water pollution and lack of materials for elctrochemical applications Cu₃Mo₂O₉ can be a promising nanomaterial for both the problems Cu₃Mo₂O₉nanoparticles (CMO) were synthesized using a green solution combustion method, incorporating Salvia hispanica seed powder, copper nitrate, and ammonium moybedium at 500 °C for 15 min later the material was calcined at 600 °C for 3hours to obtain Cu₃Mo₂O₉ (CMO) nanoparticles (NPs). The synthesized NPs were characterized by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. The XRD image verified that crystalline size of Cu₃Mo₂O₉ NPs. Porous, aggregated formations were visible in the SEM pictures. A further modification to the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was made using the NPs and electrochemical studies like Impedance, cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The CV was used to detect the urea and with increasing scan rate the detection was confirmed. The LSV detected the various range of urea concentration. The nickel foam was coated with NPs. Chrarge-discharge was done by the green synthesized nanoparticles. The NPs was effective in sensing and dye degradation.
