Abstract
The family of molybdenum oxides has numerous advantages that make them strong candidates for high-value research and various commercial applications. The variation of their multiple oxidation states allows their existence in a wide range of compositions and morphologies that converts them into highly versatile and tunable materials for incorporation into energy, electronics, optical, and biological systems. In this review, a survey is presented of the most general properties of molybdenum oxides including the crystalline structures and the physical properties, with emphasis on present issues and challenging scientific and technological aspects. A section is devoted to the thermodynamical properties and the most common preparation techniques. Then, recent applications are described, including photodetectors, thermoelectric devices, solar cells, photo-thermal therapies, gas sensors, and energy storage.
