Y6 Mo6 O18

Y6Mo6O18 is a mixed-valence metal oxide ceramic compound containing yttrium and molybdenum, belonging to the family of polyoxometalates and mixed-metal oxides. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than established industrial production, with potential applications in catalysis, electrochemistry, and functional ceramics where its structural framework and electron-transfer properties could be exploited. The yttrium-molybdenum oxide system is studied for heterogeneous catalysis, battery materials, and corrosion-resistant coatings, though Y6Mo6O18 specifically remains largely in the materials discovery phase.
