Molybdenum(VI) oxide, 99.95% (metals basis), Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Molybdenum(VI) oxide is a very promising and stable molybdenum oxide for the electrochromic applications and used as a catalyst in oil industries. It is also used to make metal molybdenum. It has a wide band gap n-type semiconductor with distinctive electrochromic, thermochromic, and photochromic properties. It has been widely investigated as a smart material for catalysis sensors, lubricants, lithium battery, organic solar cells, and display materials. Molybdenum(VI) oxide (MoO₃) is employed as an adhesive between enamels and metals.
