Description

Molybdenum Aluminum Boride (MoAlB) MAX Phase Powder (99+%, 200 mesh)

Molybdenum Aluminum Boride (MoAlB) belongs to the family of MAX phase ceramics, a unique group of layered ternary compounds (M = transition metal, A = group element, X = carbon/nitrogen/boron) that exhibit hybrid metallic and ceramic properties. With a purity of 99+% and a particle size of 200 mesh, MoAlB is a dark gray powder offering a rare combination of electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, high hardness, and chemical resistance.

Like other MAX phases, MoAlB serves as a precursor for MXenes, a new class of 2D nanomaterials with exceptional electrochemical, optical, and catalytic properties. This makes MoAlB highly attractive not only for structural applications but also for next-generation energy storage and electronic devices.
