Abstract

The monolayer dispersion of MoO 3 supported on the surface of titanate nanotubes (TNT) were prepared by heating mechanical mixture of molybdate (HMA) and TNT. The result shows that MoO 3 can disperse spontaneously onto the surface of TNT, and the dispersion capacity is ca. 27 mg MoO 3/g TNT by X-ray diffraction (XRD). On the basis of thermogravimetric (TG) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, it was found that the HMA as precursor could not decompose completely into MoO 3 crystal on the surface of TNT around the threshold above decomposed temperature due to the strong interaction between HMA and the surface of TNT.
