Chemically Modified Graphene Oxide-Wrapped Quasi-Micro Ag Decorated Silver Trimolybdate Nanowires for Photocatalytic Applications Kan Zhang Nansra Heo Xinjian Shi Jong Hyeok Park 10.1021/jp407038c.s001 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Chemically_Modified_Graphene_Oxide_Wrapped_Quasi_Micro_Ag_Decorated_Silver_Trimolybdate_Nanowires_for_Photocatalytic_Applications/2353402 We report a simple and versatile strategy for hybridizing 1-D silver trimolybdate wires (Ag<sub>2</sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>O<sub>10</sub> Ws) and graphene oxide (GO) by a direct solution process. Because of the photoactive nature of Ag<sub>2</sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>O<sub>10</sub> Ws, Ag particles were uniformly formed on their surfaces with the assistance of solar light. Enriched surface functional groups of GO from chemical activation induce a chemical coordination with these Ag particles. As a result, a uniform ternary hybrid mixture was successfully formed with metallic Ag nanoparticles as a bridge connecting activated GO and Ag<sub>2</sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>O<sub>10</sub> Ws. We found that both excited GO and Ag<sub>2</sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>O<sub>10</sub> could generate electron/hole pairs separated in space by metallic Ag as a solid-state electron mediator. The novel photocatalytic mechanism was confirmed using photocurrents, the electronic-band structure, and photoactivity correlation analysis. 2013-11-14 00:00:00 photoactivity correlation analysis Ag 2Mo Ws Silver Trimolybdate Nanowires novel photocatalytic mechanism Photocatalytic ApplicationsWe report Ag particles
