CaMoO

Calcium molybdate (CaMoO₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the scheelite family of molybdates, characterized by a tetragonal crystal structure. It is primarily used in optical and photonic applications, including scintillation detectors, phosphors, and luminescent materials, as well as in catalytic and electrochemical systems where molybdate compounds provide oxidation resistance and thermal stability. CaMoO₄ is notable for its relatively high density and refractory properties, making it suitable for high-temperature environments where conventional organic phosphors would degrade, though it remains largely a specialized material rather than a commodity ceramic.
