Iron(II) molybdate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula FeMoO₄.^[2]

Synthesis

Iron(II) molybdate is prepared by the reaction of iron(II) chloride or iron(II) sulfate^[3] and sodium molybdate.

Na₂MoO₄ + FeSO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + FeMoO₄

Na₂MoO₄ + FeCl₂ → 2 NaCl + FeMoO₄

Due to its very low aqueous solubility, iron(II) molybdate precipitates out as a brown powder from the above reactions, which can then be obtained by filtration.

Applications

FeMoO₄ has been used as relatively stable active material for anodes in Li-ion batteries for conversion reaction,^[4] as anode material in aqueous supercapacitors due to fast redox reactions^[3] and as catalyst for oxygen evolution in alkaline solutions.^[5]

Safety

Iron(II) molybdate is toxic and may cause irritation. It should not be released into the environment. Inhalation of dusts should be avoided.
