Upon thermolysis in air at 450 degrees C for 3 h the complex yields maghemite (gamma-Fe(2)O(3)) nanorods with a thin hematite (alpha-Fe(2)O(3)) shell. X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Mossbauer spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) are used to characterize the samples. The stability of the ligand and the Fe-complex is further examined by using thermogravimmetric/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA). We suggest a residual ligand controlled mechanism for the formation of an anisotropic nanostructure in a crumbling molecular solid undergoing ligand decomposition. Since the band gap of iron oxide is in the visible range, we explored the use of our core shell nano-rod sample for photocatalytic activity for H(2) generation by H(2)S splitting under solar light. We observed high photocatalytic activity for hydrogen generation (75 ml h(-1)).</p>1 aChaudhari, N., S.1 aWarule, S., S.1 aMuduli, Subas1 aKale, B., B.1 aJouen, Samuel1 aLefez, Benoit1 aHannoyer, Beatrice1 aOgale, Satishchandra, B.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/maghemite-hematite-core-shell-nanorods-thermolysis-molecular-solid-fe-complex-002447nas a2200277   4500008004100000022001400041245009600055210006900151260000900220300001100229490000800240520159300248653002101841653001701862653001501879653001901894653000801913653000801921100001701929700002101946700002101967700001901988700001702007700001902024856012602043       2025                        eng d  a0009-261400aSynergistic MoS2@MWCNT nanocomposites for high-efficiency catalysis and energy applications0 aSynergistic MoS2MWCNT nanocomposites for highefficiency catalysi  cNOV   a1424170 v8793 a<p>
	The MoS2-MWCNT composite heterojunction for its potential as an electrocatalyst and energy storage material. The composite demonstrated remarkable electrochemical performance, achieving a specific capacitance of 263 F/g, an energy density of 16.89 Wh/kg, and a power density of 478 W/kg. Using CV profiles, we analyzed the charge storage mechanism and found that the anodic and cathodic processes had b values of 0.48 and 0.45, respectively, indicating diffusion-controlled behavior. Diffusion coefficients of 6.44 x 10(-7) cm(2)/s (anodic) and 11.32 x 10(-7) cm(2)/s (cathodic) confirmed this mechanism. In the constructed device using MoS2-MWCNT and activated carbon (AC), we observed a specific capacitance of 18.71 F/g, an energy density of 5.09 Wh/kg, and a power density of 833 W/kg. After stability, testing, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed a slight increase in series resistance, rising from 2.33 Omega to 2.49 Omega. The MoS2-MWCNT composite also exhibited excellent electro catalytic performance. For the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), it achieved an over potential of 0.221 V and a Tafel slope of 0.321 V/dec. After stability testing, we measured Rs and Rct values of 4.86 Omega and 2.57 Omega, respectively. For the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the composite showed an over potential of 597 mV and a Tafel slope of 0.285 V/dec, with post-stability Rs and Rct values of 5.63 Omega and 5.57 Omega, respectively. These findings highlight the versatility of the MoS2-MWCNT composite for applications in energy storage and water splitting.</p>
