Description

Application

Molybdenum oxide nanoparticles have been studied in photocatalytic systems, as gas sensors for automobiles and as anodes in lithium ion batteries.

Precursor to LAMOX fast ion conductors and superconductors.

Used in the solid state synthesis of a remarkable ternary, reduced molybdenum oxide, Pr₄Mo₉O₁₈, whose structure contains previously unknown Mo₇, Mo₁₃ and Mo₁₉ clusters. The new cluster product is a small band gap semiconductor.
