Abstract

α-MoO₃ micropalettes with high-quality surface have been formed by annealing of intermediate molybdenum oxide at T = 650°C in air. The intermediate molybdenum oxide was prepared by thermal decomposition of molybdenum formate at T = 450°C under oxygen deficiency. The chemical composition, structure and micromorphology of intermediate products and α-MoO₃ micropalettes have been examined with XRD, SEM, AFM, TG/DSC and IR spectroscopy. The results indicate the formation of α-MoO₃ micropalettes with ~50 μm length, ~10 μm width and ~600 nm thickness, developed (010) crystal plane and high-quality flat surface.
