Molybdenum market quotation in China: ferro molybdenum price edges lower while molybdenum powder and oxide prices remain unchanged on January 16, 2023 with more and more participants are off duty for the holiday of Chinese Spring Festival. 

Electrochromic materials (EC), electrochromic devices (ECDs) and energy storage devices (ESDs) own similar device structures and operating principles, and transition metal oxides, such as MoO₃, MnO₂ and WO₃, can be used as electrode materials for these devices. EC materials can change their optical parameters, including reflectance, refractive index, transmittance and emissivity, when a relatively low voltage (even less than 1 V) or electric field is applied, and the process is reversible when the polarity of the voltage or electric field is reversed. Because of this special property, ECDs are widely used in smart windows, anti-glare mirrors, display applications, and in aerospace and military applications.

Tungsten oxide-based nanomaterials hold multiple applications in constructing various energy storage devices, especially in electrochemical energy devices. The materials’ electrochromic and optical change devices have been intensively investigated in energy conservation. Based on the close connection of device structures and operating mechanisms between these two major applications, bifunctional devices of tungsten oxide-based materials with energy storage and optical change functions have drawn our vision.

The tungsten powder and tungsten bar prices in the Chinese market continue to be stable when the market trading is low with the approaching of the Chinese Spring Festival holiday. 

The overall situation of the China’s rare earth market has not changed significantly this week. Under the mutual influence of negative and positive factors, light and heavy rare earth traders have different attitudes, mainly reflected in the slight increase in the price of praseodymium oxide and neodymium oxide, while the price of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide dropped slightly. 

This week, China’s domestic molybdenum market as a whole maintains a high level and relatively strong operation. Although the Spring Festival is approaching, the enthusiasm of downstream users to enter the market for inquiries and purchases has declined, and the recent drop in the international molybdenum price has largely hindered the market from heating up again.
