What are the limitations of MoSi2?

Overview of molybdenum disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide is an inorganic substance, the chemical formula MoS2, is the main component of molybdenite. Black solid powder with metallic luster, molybdenum disulfide is an inorganic substance, chemical formula MoS2, is the main component of molybdenum ore. Black solid powder with metallic luster and smooth feel. The specific gravity is 4.8, and the Mohs hardness is 1 to 1.5. Generally speaking, the friction coefficient is 0.05~0.09. The oil absorption value is 1~1.5. The melting point is 1185°C, and it is sublimated at 450°C. In the atmosphere, the temperature starts to oxidize gradually at about 400 °C, and as the particle size becomes finer, the oxidation temperature gradually decreases, and the oxide is molybdenum trioxide. Insoluble in dilute acid, alkali, solvent, petroleum, synthetic grease. It can be corroded by aqua regia, concentrated sulfuric acid and boiling concentrated hydrochloric acid. Chemical stability and thermal stability are strong. It does not react chemically with general metal surfaces and does not corrode rubber materials.

What are the limitations of MoSi2

MoSi2 exhibits low toughness below 1000 °C, which means that the material is very brittle at room temperature and only becomes plastic at higher temperatures.

It exhibits poor creep resistance above 1200 °C.

Characteristics of Molybdenum Silicide MoSi2 Powder

Molybdenum silicide MoSi2 powder (CAS 12136-78-6) has high melting point, high corrosion resistance, high oxidation resistance, good electrical conductivity, high temperature ductility, binary alloy intermediate phase, dual-characteristic metals and ceramics.

Application of molybdenum disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide is an important solid lubricant, especially suitable for high temperature and high pressure. It is also diamagnetic and can be used as linear photoconductors and semiconductors showing P-type or N-type conductivity, with rectification and energy conversion. Molybdenum disulfide can also be used as a catalyst for complex hydrocarbon dehydrogenation.

It is also known as the "King of Advanced Solid Lubricants". Molybdenum disulfide is a solid powder made of natural molybdenum concentrate after chemical purification and changing the molecular structure. This product is black, slightly silver-gray, with metallic luster, smooth hand feeling, insoluble in water. This product has the advantages of good dispersion and non-stick. It can be added to various greases to form a non-stick colloidal state, which can increase the lubricity and extreme pressure of the grease. It is also suitable for high temperature, high pressure, high speed and the main function of molybdenum disulfide used in friction materials is to reduce friction at low temperature, increase friction at high temperature, and small loss on ignition. Volatile in friction materials.

Friction reduction: The particle size of molybdenum disulfide processed by supersonic jet pulverization is 325-2500 mesh, the particle hardness is 1-1.5, and the friction coefficient is 0.05-0.1, which can reduce friction when used as friction material;

Increase friction: Molybdenum disulfide is non-conductive, and there are copolymers of molybdenum disulfide, molybdenum trisulfide and molybdenum trioxide. When the temperature of the friction material increases sharply due to friction, the molybdenum trioxide particles in the copolymer expand with the increase of temperature and increase the friction force;

Antioxidation: Molybdenum disulfide is obtained through chemical purification and comprehensive reaction. The pH value is 7-8, slightly alkaline, and it covers the surface of the friction material to protect other materials from being oxidized, especially to make other materials not easy to fall off and strengthen. adhesion;

In addition, molybdenum disulfide can also become a new material for making transistors. Compared with graphene, which is also a two-dimensional material, the band gap of molybdenum disulfide is 1.8 eV, while graphene has no band gap. Therefore, molybdenum disulfide may have broad application space in the field of nanotransistors. In addition, the electron mobility of the monolayer molybdenum disulfide transistor can reach about 500 cm2/(V•s), and the current switching rate can reach 1×10^8.
