Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the CoMo-hydroxide product has been investigated by TG/DTA, Perkin Elmer TGA 7. Figure S1 presents the TG-DTA profile of CoMo-hydroxide yield weight loss in the measured temperature range. The total weight loss of 9.6 % is 1

2 observed in four steps. First weight loss (3.3wt %) at around C is attributed to a loss of water molecules. The second weight loss of 1.6 wt % observed around at ºC associated the chemical decomposition reaction of the reactants. The decomposition of ammonium molybdate is completed at about 390 ºC. Detail thermal analysis was reported by other authors substantial weight loss (3 wt%) at around ºC is attributed to the decomposition of ammonium molybdate. In DTA analysis, the exothermic peak observed at 347 ºC, shows the exothermic combustion reaction [1]. From the TG profile, it is observed that after 350 ºC; the negligible weight loss observed that can confirm the stable phase of CoMoO 4. Hence, it is noted that the CoMo-hydroxide sample can be calcinated to a temperature as350 C to the conversion into the pure phase of CoMoO 4.
