use | molybdenum dioxide can be used to prepare molybdenum dioxide sputtering films; In addition, the research results show that molybdenum dioxide film has excellent electrical properties, light properties and smooth physical surface, it can be widely used in light emitting diodes (OLED), liquid crystal display devices (LCD), ion display panels (PDP), field display panels (FED), thin film solar cells, low resistance ohmic contact materials and other electronic materials and semiconductor materials. |
Preparation | The method for preparing molybdenum dioxide is still to use hydrogen to reduce ammonium dimolybdate or chemically pure molybdenum trioxide or use hydrogen to reduce ammonium dimolybdate and molybdenum trioxide mixture. It is also useful to reduce ammonium secondary molybdate with hydrogen. The reduction is carried out in a rotary furnace, and ammonium dimolybdate can also be added to the boat in a multi-tube furnace. |
