Amorphous MoO3-x nanosheets prepared by Reduction of crystalline MoO3 by Mo metal for LSPR and Photothermic Conversion

Amorphous MoO3-x with enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance has been fabricated successfully by introducing Mo atoms into the interlayers of MoO3 nanosheets via a hydrothermal method. The inserted Mo atom could bond with inherent Mo atoms and further form a distorted atomic configuration structure. Thus, the amorphous MoO3-x possesses relatively excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.79%.
