With some experience on the hydrothermal synthesis of MoO3 and combustion synthesised Co3O4 films I feel that the secret of forming peelable oxide thin films has to do with the morphologies that develop on crystal growth. Just compare MoO3 with MoS2(which is a famous layered structure used as a lubricant). You would see the difficulty of making MoO3 by poor man's techniques. Ultimately it boils down to the strength of the Mo-O bond. CSS
Thank you so much. ya you are correct. i think i have made mistake in cleaning procedure. Less than 500deg?
Yes Magesan, I suggested less than 500 deg because for temperature higher than 500 deg, cations like sodium from the glass substrates may diffuse to the MoO3 film and can change the stoichiometry and composition. If it is quartz then nothing to worry you can go up to 1000 deg
ya its correct. But if we want to decompose MoO3 means we should maintain about 700 deg na. Then how ?
Decomposition temperature of MoO3 is around 700 deg na tats y i am asking
