Prices in the national electricity market averaged $87 per megawatt-hour in the first three months of the year, above the level promised by the federal government. Wholesale electricity prices for industry and large businesses have already exceeded the level promised by the federal government, adding another cost pressure to the economy. Prices in the national electricity market averaged $87 per megawatt-hour in the first three months of this year, up more than two-thirds from the December 2021 quarter, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) said recently. That's up 141% from the March 2021 quarter.

Because of the ever-changing international situation, the supply and prices of international bulk Molybdenum Disulfide,Overview of Molybdenum Disulfide,Application of Molybdenum Disulfide,Molybdenum disulfide price,Molybdenum Disulfide Supplier are still very uncertain.

Overview of Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide (or molybdenum) is an inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur.

{xunruicms_img_title}

Molybdenum disulfide is the main component of molybdenite. It is a black solid powder with metallic luster. The chemical formula of molybdenum disulfide is MoS2, the melting point is 2375°C, the density is 4.80g/cm3 (14°C), and the Mohs hardness is 1.0-1.5. It begins to decompose at 1370°C and at 1600°C into metallic molybdenum and sulfur.

Molybdenum disulfide is insoluble in water, dilute acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, generally insoluble in other acids, alkalis and organic solvents, soluble in aqua regia and boiled concentrated sulfuric acid.

Application of Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide is used as a dry lubricant in greases, dispersions, friction materials and bond coatings. Molybdenum-sulfur complexes can be used in suspension, but are more commonly dissolved in lubricating oils at concentrations of a few percent. MoS2 is used as an additive for greases, friction materials, plastics, rubber, nylon, PTFE, coatings, etc.

1) Widely used in automobile and machinery industry, it is a good solid lubricating material.

2) Lubricants for drill bits, cutting tools and some non-oily and hard alloy steels; lubricant additives and film removers for non-ferrous metals.

3) Preparation of greases and additives for solid lubricating films, nylon filters and catalysts.

4) Synthetic molybdenum disulfide is used as a catalyst for desulfurization in refineries.

Molybdenum disulfide mixed with some volatile solvents can be sprayed on metal surfaces or added engineering plastics to make lubricating components. Molybdenum disulfide can be directly used in electronics, spraying, electroplating, hardware, screws and other industries.

Molybdenum disulfide is an important solid lubricant, especially suitable for high temperature and high pressure. It is also diamagnetic and can be used as linear photoconductors and semiconductors that display P-type or N-type conductivity, as well as rectification and energy conversion. Molybdenum disulfide can also be used as a catalyst for complex hydrocarbon dehydrogenation.

Molybdenum disulfide is also known as "the king of advanced solid lubricants". It is a solid powder made of natural molybdenum concentrate powder through chemical purification and changing the molecular structure. Molybdenum disulfide is black in color, slightly silver-gray, with metallic luster, greasy touch, and insoluble in water. It has the advantages of good dispersibility and non-adhesion. It can be added to various greases to form a non-adherent colloidal state, which can increase the lubricity and extreme pressure of the grease.

Molybdenum disulfide is suitable for mechanical conditions of high temperature, high pressure, high speed and high load to prolong the life of equipment.

As imports of natural gas from Russia gradually decrease, the price of natural gas in Germany rises. According to statistics from a German price information portal, according to the current natural gas price, the average annual natural gas cost of the average German household has soared 184%, from 1258 euros last year to 3568 euros, and is likely to continue to soar.

The German government plans to change energy security laws to shift rising costs to all consumers, including natural gas users who have signed fixed-price contracts, Reuters reported. The website estimates that after Germany begins imposing a surtax on households that use natural gas for heating in October, the average annual increase in gas spending per household will be between 357 euros and 1190 euros.


The Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee recently announced that it had formally submitted a bid to the Olympic Council of Asia to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games. Saudi Arabia plans to host the Asian Winter Games in the small town of "TROJENA", the Saudi Olympic Committee said in a statement. If Saudi Arabia succeeds in its bid, it will become the first West Asian and Arab country to host the Asian Winter Games.

The town of "TROJENA" is located within the scope of NEOM New Town in northwestern Saudi Arabia, about 50 kilometers away from the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea.
