Niobium(V) oxide, also known as niobium pentoxide, is a white crystalline powder. It is a refractory metal oxide with a high melting point of over 2500 °C and high chemical stability, including to oxygen and moisture. Niobium(V) oxide is mainly used as a raw material in the production of niobium and niobium alloys, as a catalyst in chemical reactions, and as a refractory material in high-temperature applications. It is also used as a dielectric material in capacitors and as a pigment in ceramics and glasses.
Application
Applied in the solid state formation of an unusual cation deficient perovskite, Ba7Nb4MoO20.[1]
Promising results were obtained using niobium(V) oxide as an alternate electrode to lithium metal in advanced fuel cells.
Features and Benefits

Catalyst-electrode design is crucial for the commercialization and widespread use of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. There are considerable challenges in making less expensive, more durable, and more active catalysts. Herein, we report the one-pot synthesis of Pt and Pt-Pb
Even after a decade or so of research, the direct synthesis of highly crystalline mesoporous transition-metal oxides that are thermally stable and well ordered still constitutes a major challenge. Although various soft- and hard-templating approaches have been developed in the
Proteomics-based analysis of signaling cascades relies on a growing suite of affinity resins and methods aimed at efficient enrichment of phosphorylated peptides from complex biological mixtures. Given the heterogeneity of phosphopeptides and the overlap in chemical properties between phospho- and
