Mercury molybdate (Hg₂MoO₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of mercury, molybdenum, and oxygen. This material belongs to the family of heavy metal molybdates and is primarily of interest in specialized research and analytical applications rather than high-volume industrial production. It is notable for its potential use in optical, photocatalytic, and sensing applications, though it remains largely confined to laboratory and research environments due to mercury's toxicity and regulatory restrictions in most developed nations.
