摘要

Simple and cost-effective new method is developed to synthesize crystalline nano molybdenum particles from molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. Nano molybdenum particles were studied using comprehensive characterisation. Crystallite size of prepared nano molybdenum was in the range of 24-35 nm. Particle size of nano molybdenum was around 100 nm whereas its surface area was in the range of 3.13-3.24 m2 g-1. The observed results are compared with existing results and the solid-phase technique in a muffle furnace was simple, rapid, reliable, reproducible, and cost effective in comparison with the currently available conventional methods.
