Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Nanosheets of MoO₃ that consist of only a few layers have been prepared by using four methods, including the oxidation of MoS₂ nanosheets, intercalation with LiBr, and ultrasonication. These nanosheets have been characterized by atomic force microscopy and other techniques. Besides showing a blue‐shift of the optical absorption band compared to the bulk sample, few‐layer MoO₃ exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity. In combination with a borocarbonitride, few‐layer MoO₃ shows good performance characteristics as a supercapacitor electrode.</p> </abstract>
