Application

The Molybdenum Diselenide Crystal serves a crucial role in advancing technology through its unique properties. This compound, part of the transition metal disulfides group, is known for its higher electrical conductivity compared to its counterpart, MoS2. It is not only used as a solid lubricant and in the creation of lubricant films through sputtering processes but also plays a vital role in the development of molybdenum chalcogenide thin film transistors for solar cells-an area of rapidly growing research. Thanks to its layered structure, MoSe2 supports innovative applications such as field-effect transistors, piezoelectrics, and substrates for self-assembly, making it an essential material in modern electronics and energy solutions.
