Molybdenum mononitride (Mo₁N₁) is a refractory ceramic compound belonging to the transition metal nitride family, characterized by strong interatomic bonding and high hardness. This material is primarily of research and emerging industrial interest for applications requiring extreme hardness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance in demanding environments. Mo₁N₁ and related molybdenum nitrides are being evaluated as alternatives to traditional hard coatings and wear-resistant materials, with particular promise in cutting tools, wear protection, and high-temperature applications where conventional materials reach performance limits.
