What is Molybdenum disulfide?
Molybdenum disulfide is the main component of molybdenite. Molybdenum disulfide is a gray-black powder with a metallic luster. Natural products tend to be lead gray, while synthetic products tend to be black. Insoluble in organic solvents, water, and dilute acid but reactive with hot sulfuric acid, hot nitric acid, and aqua regia. Similar to graphite, flaky crystals of hexagonal systems are stacked together, with a small friction coefficient, easy to slide along the horizontal direction, and layered. Therefore, they can be used as solid lubricants. It is also stable to radiation.
Molybdenum disulfide has a high content of active sulfur, which is easy to corrode copper. It is discussed in many books and papers about lubricant additives. In addition, when parts made of copper and their alloys need lubrication, it is not impossible to choose lubricating products containing molybdenum disulfide, but it is also necessary to add copper corrosion inhibitors.
Preparation principle of Molybdenum disulfide Powder
Molybdenum concentrate is prepared by repeatedly stirring with hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid under direct steam heating, washing with hot water, centrifuging, drying, and crushing. Hydrogen sulfide gas is introduced into the ammonium molybdate solution to generate ammonium thiomolybdate. Adding hydrochloric acid to convert it into molybdenum trisulfide precipitate, centrifuging, washing, drying, and pulverizing. And finally, heating to 950 deg c for desulfurization.
Uses of Molybdenum disulfide Powder
1. Molybdenum disulfide is an important solid lubricant, especially suitable for high temperatures and high pressure. It also has diamagnetism, can be used as a linear photoconductor and a semiconductor with P-type or N-type conductivity, and has the functions of rectification and transduction. Molybdenum disulfide can also be used as a catalyst for the dehydrogenation of complex hydrocarbons.
2. The main function of molybdenum disulfide used in friction materials is to reduce friction at low temperatures, increase friction at high temperatures, have a small loss on ignition, and be volatile in friction materials.
3. In addition, molybdenum disulfide can be used as a new material for transistors. Compared with graphene, which is a two-dimensional material, molybdenum disulfide has an energy band gap of 1.8eV, while graphene has no energy band gap. Therefore, molybdenum disulfide may have a broad application space in the field of nano-transistors. Moreover, the electron mobility of the single-layer molybdenum disulfide transistor can reach about 500 cm 2/(v s) at the highest, and the current switching rate can reach 1× 10 8.
Price of Molybdenum disulfide powder
Molybdenum disulfide powder particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of Molybdenum disulfide powder. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The price of Molybdenum disulfide powder can be found on our company's official website.
