Overview of Molybdenum Disulfide MoS2

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

Molybdenum disulfide MoS2 is a solid powder made from natural molybdenum concentrate after chemical purification. The color of the product is black, slightly silver-gray, with metallic luster, smooth to the hand, and insoluble in water. Molybdenum disulfide has the advantages of good dispersibility and non-sticking. It is added to various greases to form a non-sticky colloidal state and increase the lubricity and extreme pressure of the grease.

Molybdenum disulfide MoS2 is also suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, high-speed, and high-load mechanical conditions to extend the life of the equipment; the main function of molybdenum disulfide for friction materials is to reduce friction at low temperatures, increase friction at high temperatures, and lose on ignition small.

Uses of molybdenum disulfide MoS2

Application of MoS2 MoS2

Molybdenum disulfide MoS2 is an important solid lubricant, especially suitable for high temperature and high pressure. It is also diamagnetic, can be used as a linear photoconductor and a semiconductor showing P-type or N-type conductivity, and has a rectifying and energy function. Molybdenum disulfide can also be used as a catalyst for the dehydrogenation of complex hydrocarbons.

Also known as "the king of advanced solid lubricants." Molybdenum disulfide is a solid powder made from natural molybdenum concentrate through chemical purification and changing the molecular structure. This product is black, slightly silver-gray, metallic luster, smooth to the touch, insoluble in water. This product has the advantages of good dispersibility and non-stickiness. It can be added to various greases to form a non-stick gel state, which can increase the lubricity and extreme pressure of the grease. It is also suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, high-speed, and high-load mechanical working conditions to extend the life of the equipment. The main function of molybdenum disulfide in friction materials is to reduce friction at low temperatures and increase friction at high temperatures, resulting in a small loss on ignition. It is volatile in friction materials.

Anti-friction property: Molybdenum disulfide particle size 325-2500 mesh treated by supersonic jet pulverization, particle hardness 1-1.5, friction coefficient 0.05-0.1, can reduce friction when used in friction materials;

Increase friction: Molybdenum disulfide is not conductive. There are copolymers of molybdenum disulfide, molybdenum trisulfide and molybdenum trioxide. When the friction material rises sharply due to friction, the molybdenum trioxide particles in the copolymer expand with the increase in temperature to increase the friction;

Anti-oxidation: Molybdenum disulfide is prepared by chemical purification and comprehensive reaction. Its PH value is 7-8, which is slightly alkaline. It covers the surface of the friction material to protect other materials and prevent them from being oxidized, especially to prevent other materials from falling off and enhance 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 energy band gap of molybdenum disulfide is 1.8 eV, while graphene has no energy band gap. Therefore, molybdenum disulfide may have a broad application space in the field of nano-transistors. Moreover, the electron mobility of a single-layer molybdenum disulfide transistor can reach about 500 cm^2/(V•s), and the current switching rate can reach 1×10^8.
