Abstract:In the industrial production of molybdenum the reduction of molybdenum trioxide with hydrogen is a two‐step process. In order to get a deeper understanding of the chemistry involved, in situ studies were performed on the thermal behavior of molybdenum trioxide and the first reduction step to molybdenum dioxide. MoO3 shows a very strong anisotropy for thermal expansion (linear expansion coefficients α in 10−4 K−1: 1.32(4) for a, 5.5(1) for b, −0.246(5) for c). Upon heating in air, preferred orientation in XRPD … Show more
