Synthesis and applications of molybdenum (IV) oxide
Molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) is a transition metal oxide with unusual metallike electrical conductivity and high catalytic activity toward reforming hydrocarbons. This review covers the synthesis techniques used to fabricate MoO2 in a variety of morphologies and particle sizes. Processing from molybdenum ore and reduction from MoO3 are also covered, with emphasis on reduction mechanisms and ...
