Abstract

A detailed experimental investigation on the thermochemical stability of Zn2Mo3O8(s) in the Zn-Mo-O system was reported for the first time using high temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry in conjunction with solid oxide based electrochemical measurements. The temperature dependence of molar heat capacity of this compound was determined employing thermal relaxation calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The values of standard molar enthalpy of formation (∆fH298.15°), standard molar entropy (S298.15°), molar heat capacity (Cp) and Debye temperature (θD) for Zn2Mo3O8(s) were determined for the first time in this study. The present study also focuses on the investigation of electrochemical performance of α-ZnMoO4(s) for lithium ion battery applications which demonstrated the effective utilization of this compound as anode material due to its remarkable cycling stability and rate capability.
