· JVASP-28669· MoW3S8

MoW3S8 is a molybdenum-tungsten sulfide compound that belongs to the family of transition metal chalcogenides, materials of significant interest in materials research for their layered crystal structures and catalytic properties. This material is primarily explored in research and development contexts for applications requiring high hardness, wear resistance, and catalytic activity, particularly where conventional lubricants or catalysts face performance limitations. The molybdenum-tungsten sulfide system represents a promising alternative to pure molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) or tungsten disulfide (WS₂) due to synergistic effects from combining multiple transition metals, making it relevant for engineers working on next-generation tribological coatings, heterogeneous catalysis, and energy storage systems.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
