Mo6O18 is a molybdenum oxide semiconductor compound belonging to the polyoxometalate (POM) family, characterized by a cluster structure of molybdenum and oxygen atoms. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for energy storage, catalysis, and optoelectronic applications, where its layered electronic structure and tunable redox properties offer advantages over bulk metal oxides. Industrial adoption remains limited, but Mo6O18 and related molybdenum oxides show promise as anode materials for batteries, catalysts for water splitting and organic synthesis, and components in photoelectrochemical devices.
