"Reduction Kinetics of the Nanocluster [HxPMo12O40⊂H4Mo72Fe30(O2CMe)15O254(H2O)98-y(EtOH)y]." <i>Journal of Cluster Science,</i> 29, no. 2 (2018) Springer: 325-335. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10876-018-1335-0.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/102368The reduction of the molecular iron-molybdenum-nanocluster, [HxPMo12O40⊂H4Mo72Fe30(O2CMe)15O254(H2O)98-y(EtOH)y](FeMoC), was studied using model free isoconversional methods. The reduction kinetics were evaluated using the non-isothermal thermogravimetric measurements at four different heating rates from 5 to 20 °C/min in a 5% hydrogen atmosphere (argon balance). The apparent activation energy dependence on conversion derived from the isoconversional Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) and Vyazovkin methods reveals a complex multi-step process with values ranging from 60.8 ± 13.3 to 183 ± 6.3 kJ/mol. The kinetic results were validated by isothermal predictions. The results herein are useful for optimization and development of FeMoC derived Fe–Mo nanoalloy systems.engThis article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made.Journal articlereduction kineticsisoconversional model free methodironmolybdenumnanoclusterhttps://doi.org/10.1007/s10876-018-1335-0
