High-Purity MoO₃ Pellets for Thin-Film Deposition, Energy Storage, and Catalysis
Cell Lab 3N5 (99.95%) Molybdenum Trioxide (MoO₃) Pellets are precision-engineered evaporation materials designed for high-performance vacuum coating, semiconductor, and energy research applications. MoO₃ appears as a white to pale-yellow crystalline solid composed of layered distorted MoO₆ octahedra within an orthorhombic structure, offering excellent oxidation resistance, high work function, and stable electronic properties.
MoO₃ thin films are widely used in lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, gas sensors, field-effect transistors, and catalytic systems. Its layered nature provides excellent ionic mobility and charge transfer capabilities, making it ideal for energy storage and optoelectronic devices.
High Purity (99.95%) – Minimises contamination, ensuring stable and reproducible thin-film quality.
Layered Orthorhombic Structure – Enables efficient charge transport and surface reaction kinetics.
Excellent Evaporation Stability – Compatible with both E-beam and thermal evaporation systems.
Versatile Functional Applications – Ideal for electrochemical, catalytic, and electronic device research.
Customisable Dimensions & Packaging – Available in various pellet sizes for different chamber configurations.

Q1: Can MoO₃ pellets be used for E-beam evaporation?
Yes. MoO₃ performs well under E-beam conditions, producing stable, stoichiometric thin films with minimal decomposition.
Q2: What are the recommended crucible materials?
Al₂O₃ and boron nitride (BN) crucibles are preferred for clean evaporation without contamination.
Q3: Are these pellets suitable for large-scale coatings?
Yes. Their uniform size and purity make them suitable for both research-grade and industrial-scale thin-film systems.
Q4: Can the pellet size be customised?
Absolutely — sizes, packaging, and purity grades can be tailored to your specific equipment requirements.
You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).
You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.
When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
