Molybdenum Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Molybdenum trioxide is chemical compound with the formula MoO3. This compound is produced on the largest scale of any molybdenum compound. Molybdenum Oxide (MoO3) Sputtering Targets (Size:2'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9% ) occurs as the rare mineral molybdite. The chief application of molybdenum oxide is as an oxidation catalyst and as a raw material for the production of molybdenum metal.
Molybdenum is a transition metal and transition metal oxide films show wide variety of physical properties which make them as prime candidates for the exploration of structural properties in solids provides wide opportunities for technological applications. Among these transition metal oxides, molybdenum oxide shows interesting structural, electrical and optical properties. Molybdenum Oxide Sputtering Targets find applications as a cathode material in high density solid state micro batteries. Molybdenum oxide is considered as a chromogenic material since it shows electro-, photo- and gasochromic effects, and by virtue of these properties it is of scientific interest for the development of electrochromic display devices, optical switching and smart windows. Nanocrystalline molybdenum oxide films find applications in gas sensors and lubricants. In all these technological applications, the optimization of deposition conditions was very much essential to generate single phase molybdenum oxide films with required structural, electrical and optical properties. Different thin film physical deposition techniques such as thermal evaporation, electron beam evaporation, pulsed laser deposition and sputtering, and chemical deposition methods namely chemical vapour deposition, electrodeposition, spray pyrolysis and sol-gel process were used for preparation of molybdenum oxide films. Among the physical deposition methods, dc magnetron sputtering received considerable attention because of the preparation of uniform films on large area substrates by sputtering of metallic molybdenum target in the presence of oxygen and argon gas mixtures.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...
