Orthorhombic α-MoO3 microplates were produced from (NH4)6Mo7O24ċ4H2O solid powder by a 900 W microwave plasma for 40, 50, and 60min. Phase, morphologies, and vibration modes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Sixty min processing resulted in the best crystallization of the α-MoO3 phase, with photoluminescence (PL) in a wavelength range of 430-440 nm.

• Synthesis of h- and α-MoO 3 by refluxing and calcination combination: phase and morphology transformation, photocatalysis, and photosensitization (2013, methodology): “In this research, h-MoO 3 flowers with 5 and 7 h refluxing were more perfect than those synthesized by ultrasonic synthesis [7] and chemical precipitation [16, 17], including the corresponding α-MoO 3 microplates which were more systematic than those synthesized by microwave plasma [18].”
