Physicochemical properties and application of molybdenum disilicide MoSi2

 Molybdenum disilicide MoSi2 powder overview

Molybdenum disilicide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula MoSi2, which is a gray metallic solid. Insoluble in most acids, but soluble in nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. The radii of the two kinds of atoms are not much different, the electronegativity is relatively close, and they have properties similar to those of metals and ceramics. Molybdenum disilicide is conductive and can form a passivation layer of silicon dioxide on the surface at high temperatures to prevent further oxidation. It is used in high-temperature anti-oxidation coating materials, electric heating elements, integrated electrode films, structural materials, reinforcing agents for composite materials, wear-resistant materials, and connecting materials for structural ceramics.

Physicochemical properties of molybdenum disilicide MoSi2

Molybdenum disilicide MoSi2 is an intermediate phase with the highest silicon content in the Mo-Si binary alloy system, and it is a Dalton-type intermetallic compound with a fixed composition. With the dual characteristics of metal and ceramics, it is a high-temperature material with excellent performance. Very good high temperature oxidation resistance, the oxidation resistance temperature is as high as 1600℃, which is equivalent to SiC; moderate density (6.24g/cm3); low thermal expansion coefficient (8.1×10-6K-1); good electrical and thermal conductivity Properties; higher brittle-to-ductile transition temperature (1000℃) below has ceramic-like hardness and brittleness. It is metal-like soft plasticity above 1000°C. MoSi is mainly used as heating elements, integrated circuits, high-temperature anti-oxidation coatings and high-temperature structural materials.

In MoSi2, molybdenum and silicon are connected by metal bonds, and silicon and silicon are connected by covalent bonds. Molybdenum disilicide is a gray tetragonal crystal. It is insoluble in general mineral acids (including aqua regia), but soluble in a mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. It has good high temperature oxidation resistance and can be used as a heating element working in high temperature (<1700°C) oxidizing atmosphere.

In an oxidizing atmosphere, a protective film is formed on the surface of the dense quartz glass (SiO2) that burns at a high temperature to prevent continuous oxidation of molybdenum disilicide. When the temperature of the heating element is higher than 1700°C, a SiO2 protective film is formed, which fuses at a melting point of 1710°C, and merges with SiO2 into a molten drop. Because of the action of its surface extension, it loses its protective ability. Under the action of the oxidant, when the element is used continuously, it forms a protective film again. It should be noted that due to the strong oxidation at low temperatures, this element cannot be used for a long time in a temperature environment of 400-700°C.

Lithium nitride is the only stable alkali metal nitride

  Overview of Lithium Nitride  Li3N  Powder Lithium nitride is a metallic nitrogen compound with the molecular formula Li3N. It is the only stable alkali metal nitride. It is a purple or red crystalline solid, with a high melting point and a light green luster in reflected light and ruby color in transmitted light. Exposure to the air over a long period of time will eventually result in lithium carbonate. The chemistry of basic metal nitrides is extremely limited, and only lithium nitride is stable and easily prepared among binary compounds (sodium nitrite and potassium nitrite are prepared only under more extreme conditions). Lithium nitride belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. There are lithium and nitrogen layers composed of lithium and nitrogen atoms in lithium nitride crystal. The lithium atoms are arranged like carbon atoms in a graphite crystal, with nitrogen atoms at the center of a hexagon of lithium atoms. There is a lithium layer between the lithium and nitrogen layers.

  Overview of Cuprous oxide  Cu2O  Powder Cuprous oxide,   the chemical formula is Cu2O, is monovalent copper oxide, a bright red powder solid, almost insoluble in water, in acidic solution disproportionation into copper and copper elemental, in the wet air gradually oxidized into black copper oxide. Cuprous oxide is mainly used in the manufacture of ship bottom antifouling paint(used to kill lower Marine animals), insecticides, and various copper salts, analytical reagents, red glass, but also used in the preparation of copper plating and copper plating alloy solution. Copper(I)oxide is also known as an inorganic compound of copper oxide with the chemical formula Cu2O. It's essentially covalent. The copper(I)oxide crystallizes in a cubic structure. When heated, hydrogen tends to reduce the disproportionation it undergoes in acidic solutions that produce copper (II) ions and copper. When the copper oxide is gently heated with metal copper, it is converted to cuprous oxide. It acts

  Overview of Tungsten Disulfide Tungsten disulfide  as a potential battery material is also expected to benefit from more market replenishment. Tungsten disulfide is a layered material with remarkable surface effects, electron mobility, thermochemical stability and high electron density of states. It has been widely used for lithium and sodium storage. For example, nanocomposites as conductive additives or graphene composites as battery cathode materials can exhibit higher specific capacity and discharge efficiency, making up for the deficiencies of single-component WS2 or C as anode materials. The advent of sodium batteries is expected to alleviate the current shortage of lithium resources on the rapid development of the new energy industry, and will further stimulate the application of transition metal dichalcogenides such as tungsten disulfide WS2 in the field of power storage.  Lithium-ion batteries are a key raw material for developing energy devices and realizing the vision of &
