Systematic synthesis and analysis of change in morphology, electronic structure and photoluminescence properties of 2,2′-dipyridyl intercalated MoO3 hybrid nanostructures and investigation of their photocatalytic activity
An organic–inorganic hybrid was synthesized using 2,2′-dipyridyl and MoO3 nanorods via simple hydrothermal method. Here, dipyridyl has acted as stretching molecule and bonded the MoO3 nanorods together along the length to form hybrid micro crystals.
