Mo₃O₈ is a mixed-valence molybdenum oxide semiconductor belonging to the Magnéli phase family of transition metal oxides. This material is primarily investigated in research settings for electrochemical energy storage and catalytic applications, where its variable oxidation states and layered crystal structure enable electron transport and redox activity superior to simple binary oxides like MoO₂ or MoO₃.
