Enhanced catalytic reduction of para-nitrophenol using α-MoO3 molybdenum oxide nanorods and stacked nanoplates as catalysts prepared from different precursors

Molybdenum oxide, α-MoO3, nanorods and stacked nanoplates were prepared from oxalate, citrate and tartrate precursors. These molybdenum oxides showed high efficiencies in the reduction of para-nitrophenol to para-aminophenol in the presence of NaBH4. The prepared precursors were first characterized...
