· JVASP-78430· MoN

Molybdenum nitride (MoN) is a hard ceramic compound combining molybdenum with nitrogen, belonging to the refractory metal nitride family. It is used primarily in wear-resistant coatings, cutting tools, and high-temperature structural applications where exceptional hardness and chemical stability are required. MoN is valued as a cost-effective alternative to tungsten carbide in some cutting applications and is of significant interest in catalysis research, particularly for hydrogen evolution reactions and other electrochemical processes.
