Molybdenum oxide is widely used in chemical and petrochemical fields

Catalyst: Molybdenum oxide is widely used in chemical and petrochemical fields as an important catalyst. It can catalyze the oxidation of phenol to prepare p-cresol and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and can also be used as a component of petroleum catalytic cracking catalyst.

Preparation of molybdenum products: Molybdenum oxide is an important raw material for the preparation of other molybdenum compounds and molybdenum metal products. It can be used to prepare ammonium molybdate, sodium molybdate and other molybdenum salts, can also be used to produce molybdenum powder, molybdenum block and other metal molybdenum products.

Electronic materials: molybdenum oxide has good electrical conductivity and optical properties, can be used for the preparation of semiconductor devices, electronic catalysts and electronic optical devices.

Dyes and pigments: Molybdenum oxide can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of certain organic pigments and dyes, such as molybdenum orange, molybdenum red and molybdenum blue. These molybdenum compounds have bright colors and good weather resistance.

Ceramics and glass: Molybdenum oxide can be used as an additive in the ceramic and glass industry to improve the melting and refractory properties of ceramics and glass.

Building materials: High-purity molybdenum oxide can be used as an additive in building materials for the preparation of high-performance concrete, cement and other materials to improve the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of materials.

Electrochromic, photochromic, gas-sensitive components, information display and storage, super capacitors and other fields: Molybdenum oxide is also widely used in these fields.

Chemical properties and production methods

Molybdenum oxide (MoO3) has a special structure. The (MoO6) octahedron with metal atom Mo in the center and oxygen atom in the corner is the basic structural unit. It shares angles and forms chain connections. Every two similar chains share edges to form a layered MoO3 stoichiometric structure. The layers are staggered and stacked by van der Waals force. This structure allows the molybdenum oxide to have a high electrochemical activity. The production methods of molybdenum oxide are mainly ammonia method (wet method) and sublime method.
