Applications:

1. Mainly used for the determination of proteins, phenols, arsenic, lead, bismuth, etc. It can also be used as a reducing agent for phosphorus pentoxide, arsenic trioxide, hydrogen peroxide, phenols and alcohols, and can also be used to prepare molybdenum salts and molybdenum alloys.

2. In February 2023, researchers at the National Centre for Nanoscience constructed a heterostructure of graphene and molybdenum oxide van der Waals materials, realising a new type of electrically modulated photonic transistor.

 

 Storage Precautions: Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. It should be stored separately from acids and edible chemicals and should not be mixed. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain the leakage.
