Abstract

Abstract : The amorphous MoO3− x nanosheet exhibits more sensitive and stable surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) activity than the crystalline counterpart. The signal is stable under repeated oxygen insertion/extraction condition, which allows the recycling of the substrate through H2 O2 ‐based Fenton‐like reaction. More importantly, the interference‐free operando monitoring of the photocatalytic p ‐nitrothiophenol reduction by loaded Pt nanoclusters can be accurately attained under UV irradiation by using methanol as the hole capturer. More information can be found in the Full Paper by J. L. Zhang, L. Z. Wang, et al. on page 2653 .
