Synthesis

edit

Manganese(II) molybdate can be prepared through a double displacement reaction between sodium molybdate and manganese sulphate:[1]

Na2MoO4 + MnSO4 → Na2SO4 + MnMoO4

Manganese(II) molybdate has minimal solubility in water and will form a white-yellow precipitate which turns beige upon being refluxed.[1] The precipitate can then be filtered from solution, which gives the monohydrate (MnMoO4·H2O); heating to 360 °C then provides the anhydrous salt.[1]

Manganese(II) molybdate may also be prepared by heating various manganese oxides and molybdenum trioxide to 700 °C.[4]

Potential applications

edit

MnMoO4 serves as the active material in electrodes for aqueous supercapacitors[2][5] due to fast pseudocapacitive redox reactions. It has been evaluated as catalyst for hydrogen evolution.[5]
