Molybdenum boride has high hardness and low relative friction coefficient, chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and damage resistance. This material is applied to sliding friction surfaces to reduce wear. Molybdenum has a melting point of 2600 ℃ and can be used as a high-temperature resistant spray coating. Special alloys with good durability, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, and a linear relationship between resistance and temperature can be used for metal ceramic wear-resistant coatings, high-temperature resistors, crucible liners, fill in the blank spraying, and corrosion-resistant chemical equipment. Transition metal borides are potential alternatives to traditional hard alloys and superhard materials in technical applications. 
Storage method: Seal in a cool and dry place, in a cool environment, not exposed to air, to prevent moisture and oxidation aggregation. 
manufacturing method  
1. Adopting reduction method: Boron oxide and molybdenum oxide are reduced at high temperature in the presence of carbon to obtain 
2. Molybdenum and boron powder react under vacuum conditions at 1300-1400 ℃. 
When boron is evaporated on molybdenum (or vice versa), molybdenum boride can be formed at the interface. 
Purpose: 
1. Ceramic coating: Molybdenum boride metal ceramic has high hardness and low relative friction coefficient. This material is applied on sliding friction surfaces to reduce wear. For example, molybdenum boride coating is applied to the inner wall of engine cylinder liners. At the same time, due to its low reactivity with liquid zinc, this material has been applied to the surface spraying of continuous hot-dip galvanized submerged rollers abroad to protect them from corrosion by liquid zinc. 
2. Molybdenum boride is used as an efficient catalyst for the oxidation-reduction of polysulfides in high-energy density lithium sulfur batteries. The high conductivity and abundant catalytic active centers of molybdenum boride nanoparticles enable LIPS to exhibit rapid redox kinetics on high sulfur loaded electrodes (6.1 mg cm-2). In addition, the hydrophilicity and good wettability of molybdenum boride to electrolytes can promote electrolyte penetration and LiPS redox, ensuring high sulfur utilization efficiency under dilute electrolyte conditions. 
3. Superhard materials: Borides contain 4 to 5 boron atoms per molybdenum atom. The Vickers hardness of MoB5 ranges from 37 to 39 GPa, making it a potential superhard material. Molybdenum boride plays an extremely important role in modern industry and is widely used in alloy materials, coating materials, high-temperature structural materials, cathode materials, corrosion-resistant materials, wear-resistant materials, and other fields. 
4. Molybdenum boride powder is considered a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant material, and an important component of iron and nickel boride composite metal ceramic materials. 
5. Molybdenum boride has a melting point of 2600 ℃ and can be used as a high-temperature resistant spray coating. Special alloys with good wear resistance, heat resistance, and linear relationship between resistance and temperature can be used in metal ceramics, wear-resistant coatings, high-temperature resistors, pot liners, fill in the blank spraying, and corrosion-resistant chemical equipment. Transition metal borides are potential alternatives to traditional hard alloys and high hardness materials in technical applications. And with the advancement of science and technology, the application fields of molybdenum boride compounds will be further expanded, and this material will demonstrate even better application value and huge market prospects.
