Abstract

The intercalation into MoO3 with TiO2 nanoparticles has been accomplished via the exfoliating-restacking route. The molybdenum oxide lithiated by LiBH4 is exfoliated in degassed and deionized water. And subsequent restacking of exfoliated MoO3 in the TiO 2 nanoparticle solution results in TiO2-pillared MoO 3. X-ray diffraction pattern indicates that the TiO2 nanoparticles are successfully intercalated in the interlayer of MoO 3. The interlayer expansion of MoO3 with the Δd value of 11.2 Å is consistent with the size of TiO2 nanoparticle. Well-defined (00l) reflections reveal highly ordered lamellar character of TiO2-pillared MoO3. The pre-edge feature in the X-ray absorption spectrum of the TiO2-pillared MoO3 confirms that guest TiO2 in the interlayer of MoO3 is pillared in the form of anatase.
