Abstract
Molybdenum trioxide has emerged as a promising material for various applications due to its semiconducting
nature, layered structure, and high redox activity. In this study, we report the preparation, characterization, and
electrochemical performance of samarium-doped MoO3/SiO2 synthesized via a wet-chemical approach at different pH levels.
A comprehensive investigation was carried out to understand the structural, morphological, optical, and electrochemical
properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and cyclic voltammetry (CV).
The results reveal the impact of pH and samarium doping on the crystallinity, particle morphology, optical bandgap, and
charge storage properties of MoO3. This study highlights the potential of tailored MoO3-based materials for applications in
catalysis, energy storage, and environmental remediation
