properties in the mesoscopic state and prospective industrial
ap-plications such as catalysis, display materials, sensors, advanced
battery materials, photo-chromic and electro-chromic devices etc
[1e5] MoO3 exhibits superior intercalation chemistry and
crys-tallizes in different phases like orthorhombic (a-MoO3), monoclinic
(b-MoO3) and hexagonal (h-MoO3)[6,7] As compared toband h
nature Thea-MoO3phase has a distinct 2D layered structure in
which every layer consists of two sub layers stacked along the (010)
direction[8]
h-MoO3has potential applications in thefield of photocatalysis
because it possesses zig-zag chains of [MoO6] octahedra which are
interlinked side by side with cis position, producing one dimen-sional tunnel structure[9] This structure helps electronehole pair disconnection under irradiation Hence it is useful for optical
electrodes of lithium ion batteries[13,14], light emitting diodes, etc
methods provide nanofibers [16], nanorods[17], nanobelts [18], and nanowires[19], which are useful for various applications Op-tical properties of the materials can be enhanced by controlling

Trang 2[30,31] Previous studies have revealed that mass production of
usually produce relatively less yield and require long reaction time
[38] In order to overcome these challenges, in this manuscript, the
nano-materials In this method, high temperature can be reached in a
very short duration to complete the reaction in a liquid mode[39]
Since this technique is very simple to execute, it can be used for
mass production with control over the morphology of the sample
by tuning the pH of the precursor The presently synthesized
sample exhibits importantly interesting properties like
surfac-tant dependent morphological changes, and blue light emitting
photoluminescence, which were not fully explored in previous
works[26e29]
2 Experimental
were analytical grade stoichiometric amounts of 1.230 g of
ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ((NH4)6Mo7O24$4H2O)
(AHM) 75 ml de-ionized (DI) water, 10% diluted hydrochloric acid
(HCl) and ethanol in the ratio of 20:20:7 by volume were taken and
to get a clear solution and agitated at 180C for 1 h using ultrasonic
bath Once the solution turned into precipitate of light-blue color,
precipitate was centrifuged and washed with DI water and ethanol
for several times Finally, the product was heated at 60C for 16 h
and calcined at different temperatures Further, the experiment
was repeated by changing the sonication time and also prepared
the samples by adding cetyltrimethyammonium bromide (CTAB) as
surfactant Proposed samples were characterized by powder X-ray
diffraction (PXRD) using Shimadzu X-ray diffractometer (Shimadzu
0.15406 nm) The surface morphology was studied by Hitachi table
top scanning electron microscope (SEM, Hitachi- TM 3000),
Transmission electron microscope (TEM) of Hitachi H-8100, Kevex
sigma TM Quasar, USA was used to study the crystallite size,
composition and inter-planar spacing Spectrophotometer (Lambda
e35, Perkin Elmer) was used to study the diffuse reflectance
Fluorolog- 3 (Jobin Yvon) was utilized to measure the
photo-luminescence (PL) property[39]
3 Results and discussions
Fig 1presents the powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of
MoO3NPs synthesized at different temperatures (180C, 400C
and 600C) At 180C, the PXRD pattern can be well indexed to
The lattice parameters and the unit cell volume were found to be
a¼ 4.00 Å, b ¼ 13.967 Å, c ¼ 3.710 Å and V ¼ 207.27 Å3
respec-tively Further when the sample was heated to 400C, the phase
-mono-clinic structure with JCPDS card No 47-1320 and upon increase in
place from theb-monoclinic to h-hexagonal structure with JCPDS
[CTAB; C16H33(CH3)3NBr, 1 g] surfactant was used while preparing
with different sonication times (1 he4 h).Fig 1(b) shows the
times with a 1 g CTAB concentration
It was observed that neither the sonication time nor the
sur-factant affected the crystal structure ofa-orthorhombic MoO NPs
However, it was noticed that the crystallite size was greatly affected
by these two parameters Further the 4 h sonication time was used
as the standard duration and the procedure was repeated for different weights of CTAB from 1 g to 4 g (Fig 1(c)) The detailed variation of crystallite size in all these cases was tabulated in
Table 1 The time and temperature significantly influenced the chemical reaction, leading to the pathway for nucleation and growth of the resultant product In general, the rise in the reaction time and the reaction temperature allows the crystallite to nucleate, develop along precise growth sites, and assemble orderly, thus promoting highly crystalline samples with increased crystal-lite size
Morphology of the products was analyzed to get a better un-derstanding of the formation and growth mechanism of the prod-uct.Fig 2(a) shows SEM images of thea-MoO3NPs calcined at
Fig 2(bed) shows SEM images of the same sample under different magnifications It was observed that the sample exhibits hexagonal shaped nanorods All atoms of these individual rods were at high energy, leading to the vibration and diffusion process The strength
of vibration and diffusion of the solid was controlled by the calci-nation temperature, bond strength and type of bonds It can be noted that, as shown inFig 3(a), the morphologies of h-MoO3NPs
mecha-nism of MoO3due to the presence of HCl of 10% concentration is proposed as follows:
Mo7O246anions would join with protons to form H2MoO4first
MoO3NPs, which could give out as the nuclei The equivalent re-action processes are shown below[41]:
Further the effects of sonication time and CTAB concentration on
increasing the sonication time, the surface of the particles gets destroyed; the re-crystallization process starts to take place by breaking individual rods which signifies surface dissolution This kind of phenomenon takes place mainly because of augmented kinetic and thermodynamic energies which initiate superior re-sidual stresses that favor an asymmetrical chemical environment in the reaction system[26] The reaction temperature and time pro-mote the nucleation and growth offlower like h-MoO3NPs[42]
controlled nucleation at a controlled reactant species, ii) growth of
through Ostwald ripening, and iv) inter-particle interaction with controlled reaction time and temperature, leading to the formation
of 3D hierarchicalflower-like microspheres[43,44] TEM images shown inFig 6(aec) indicate the existence of both short and long rods of non-hexagonal geometry The density of the rods was very high and their agglomeration resulting in non-uniform dispersibility.Fig 6d shows the SAED pattern which pro-vides the information of nanorods of polycrystalline MoO3NPs The spectra obtained from the energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDX) analysis (Fig 6(e)) qualitatively confirmed the presence of Mo and the purity of the as-synthesized material
different temperatures and different sonication times were
(Fig 7) Both the spectra show a strong reflectance response be-tween 420 and 570 nm which indicate that the sample shows high H.S Yogananda et al / Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices 3 (2018) 77e85

Trang 3absorption in the visible region Here, the optical transition was
from the vacant“d” orbitals of the cation (Mo6þ) and“p” orbitals of
the oxygen ions with lone pair of electrons (O2)[45] The MoO3
sample obtained with 4 h sonication exhibits a wider adsorption
sonication time of 1 h, 2 h, 3 h and 4 h The absorption peak at
530 nm was due to the intrinsic absorption at the semiconductor
to estimate the energy band gap[47,48]
FðRÞ ¼ð1 RÞ2
where R is the absolute reflectance of the sampled and F(R) is the
so-called KubelkaeMunk function It was evident that the DRS for
all samples increased with increasing wavelength The optical band gap (Eg) of phosphors was determined by (F(R) hy)n¼ A(hyEg), where n¼ 2 for a direct allowed transition, and n ¼ 1/2 for an in-direct allowed transition, A is the constant, and hyis the photon energy[49] The linear part of the curve was extrapolated to (F(R)
hy)1/2¼ 0 to get the indirect band gap energy The estimated Eg
values for the samples prepared under different sonication times
shown inFig 8(a) and (b) It was predicted that the difference in Eg
was due to the increase of carrier concentration, leading to the BursteineMoss effect[50]
The excitation spectrum taken for the 600C calcined sample with an emission wavelength of 438 nm is shown inFig 9(a) The spectrum consists of single excitation peak positioned at 324 nm

Trang 7decrease in grain size or an increase in the specific surface area
[54,55] Further, it was observed from PL spectra that there was a
gradual increase in emission intensity with increase in
tempera-ture The 600C calcined sample has the highest emission intensity
because calcination temperature and time have a direct effect on
their PL intensities
The emission peaks in the range 380e460 nm are due to surface
defects such as Mo-vacancies or oxygen vacancies (Vo),
Molybde-num vacancies (VMo), interstitial oxygen (Oi), interstitial
Molybde-num (Moi), antisite oxygen (O), F-centers (created by oxygen ion
vacancy acquired by 2 electrons) or Fþ-centers (created by oxygen
ion vacancy acquired by 1 electron) or surface states The defects in
MoO3were created due to bond breaking and surface stress created
by large surface to volume ratio Due to these defects Fþ and F centers were converted to F-aggregates like F2, F2þ, F2 þ The energy
levels of these defects centers be present in the forbidden energy
samples prepared via different calcination, sonication time and variable CTAB concentrations may be attributed to higher density of defects present in the sample Therefore, the morphology plays a significant role in the PL emission[56,57], all the above photometric discussions show suitability of the sample for display applications The Commission International de I’E'clairage (CIE) chromaticity
calculated and shown inFig 10(a), confirming that MoO3can be used as blue light emitting diodes Moreover, it was well-known

Thereby, the correlated color temperature (CCT) as one of the
characteristics of phosphors are evaluated by using (x, y)
chroma-ticity coordinates to (U0, V0), the CCT value was found to be 1968 K
in-tensity is in warm region (Fig 10(b))[58]
4 Conclusion
MoO3crystal structures respectively for different calcination
tem-peratures of 180C, 400C, and 600C SEM images show that the
samples exhibited hierarchical morphologies such as nano rods and
flowers CTAB surfactant and sonication time were observed to play
vital roles in obtaining different morphologies The band gap of the
samples was determined to be in the range 3.4e3.6 eV, indicating
that the prepared samples were wide band gap semiconductors PL
and CIE results showed, MoO3NPs are potential materials for blue
light emitting phosphors in display devices The CCT confirms that
the product is a potential material for warm white light emitting
diodes
