Molybdenum trioxide has broad application prospects, and the market share of high-purity molybdenum trioxide will increase

Molybdenum trioxide is an inorganic substance with the appearance of white crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water, soluble in concentrated nitric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid, and easily soluble in concentrated alkali. Molybdenum trioxide is an AMoO3 perovskite structure composed of octahedral MoO6. Due to its special crystal structure, molybdenum trioxide has excellent electrochromic properties and electrochemical activity, which makes molybdenum trioxide useful in catalysts, sensors, supercapacitors, electrochemical It has broad application prospects in the fields of color change, gas sensors, information display and storage.

There are various preparation processes for molybdenum trioxide, which can be divided into two categories: physical methods and chemical methods, including electron beam evaporation, magnetron sputtering, ammonia method (wet method), chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel method, hydrothermal method and other fine methods. Sub-process. In recent years, with the improvement of preparation technology and continuous investment in research funds, molybdenum trioxide has been upgraded in terms of purity, performance, volume, etc., and the market share of high-purity molybdenum trioxide and nano-molybdenum trioxide has continued to increase.

Global molybdenum trioxide production capacity is mainly distributed in areas with rich molybdenum ore resources, such as China, the United States, and Chile. In the international market, molybdenum trioxide production companies include Molibdenosy Metales S.A, Freeport-McMoRan, Codelco, etc. my country is rich in molybdenum ore resources, with reserves ranking first in the world. However, my country’s molybdenum ore resources are relatively concentrated, with Henan, Shaanxi and Jilin accounting for more than 55% of the country’s total.

According to the “2022-2026 China Molybdenum Trioxide Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Domestic molybdenum trioxide production companies include Jin Molybdenum Group, Chengdu Hongbo, Luoyang Luanye Molybdenum Group, Liaoning Xinhualong Dayou Molybdenum, Hongtuo New Materials, etc. Affected by the distribution of molybdenum ore resources, my country’s molybdenum trioxide production capacity is mainly concentrated in Henan, Shaanxi and other regions. Compared with European and American countries, there are certain gaps in my country’s molybdenum trioxide technology, purification, application, automated production, etc., and demand for some high-end products still relies on imports.

In recent years, due to the global economic downturn, demand for traditional applications of molybdenum trioxide has been weak and profits have declined. It has become a top priority to develop high-end products and application markets. High-purity molybdenum trioxide has excellent catalytic performance and has become the focus of domestic and foreign enterprises. Currently, in the field of petrochemical catalysts, the proportion of high-purity molybdenum trioxide in molybdenum-containing catalysts has reached about 50%. In the future, as research continues to deepen and related projects are put into production, the market share of high-purity molybdenum trioxide will continue to increase.

Industry analysts said that based on its excellent electrochromic properties and electrochemical activity, molybdenum trioxide plays an important role in catalysts, electrochromism, Information display and storage and other fields show great application prospects. With the development of the global economy, research on molybdenum trioxide will continue to deepen, especially high-purity molybdenum trioxide. my country is rich in molybdenum ore resources. With the advancement of preparation technology, the market share of high-purity molybdenum trioxide will continue to increase.
