Molybdenum in electrical and electronic applications

With good electrical conductivity and high temperature resistance, the coefficient of thermal expansion is similar to that of glass, and is widely used in the manufacture of spiral filament core wire, lead wire and hooks and other components. In addition, molybdenum wire is also an ideal electrode wire for EDM wire-cutting machine tools, capable of cutting all kinds of steel and hard alloys, and its discharge processing is stable, which can effectively improve the precision of molds.

The single-layer molybdenum pyroxene material has good semiconductor properties, some performance over the now widely used silicon and graphene, is likely to become the next generation of semiconductor materials. California Institute of Nanotechnology has successfully used MoS2 to create a molybdenum pyroxene-based flexible microprocessor chip, this microchip is only 20% of the size of the equivalent silicon-based chip, power consumption is extremely low, and molybdenum pyroxene made of transistors in standby mode for the power consumption of silicon transistors one hundred thousandth of the power consumption, and cheaper than the same size of graphene circuits, and its circuits are also very flexible, extremely thin, can be attached to the human body skin.
