Graphene heating films are thin-film heating elements that generate heat through the Joule-heating effect when an electric current passes through a conductive material. They can be designed as flexible, thin, planar heaters for low-temperature heating of automotive traction batteries, battery-pack thermal management, and some low-voltage auxiliary-heating applications.

In two-dimensional semiconductor materials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂ ) is considered a key candidate material for transistor channels in the post-Moore's Law era due to its atomic-level thickness, suitable band gap, and excellent gate control capability. However, the preparation of electronic-grade MoS₂ is highly dependent on the purity and crystal form of the precursor. High-purity molybdenum trioxide ( MoO₃ ) serves as an important bridge connecting molybdenum resources and semiconductor-grade MoS₂ . Unlike ordinary industrial molybdenum oxide, semiconductor-grade MoO₃ requires not only extremely low metal impurities but also specific selection of crystal form. This article systematically summarizes the purity requirements, industrial preparation methods, and lattice structure differences of semiconductor-grade MoO₃

As silicon-based transistors shrink to the 2-nanometer node, leakage current and heat generation caused by quantum tunneling have become a physical bottleneck hindering the continued evolution of Moore's Law. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), with an atomic layer thickness of only about 0.7 nanometers , is considered a key channel material candidate for breakthroughs in sub-1-nanometer processes due to its inherent immunity to short-channel effects in its ultrathin structure HYPERLINK "https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11353602" \l "1" \t "_blank". However, a significant industrialization gap exists between its superior performance in the laboratory and stable manufacturing on semiconductor production lines, from "high-purity raw materials" to "wafer-level electronic-grade thin films." On this path, high-purity molybdenum trioxide ( MoO₃ ) is playing an increasingly important role—it is not the end point, but rather the starting point towards electronic-grade MoS₂ .

High-purity lead oxide (PbO, purity ≥ 99.99%) is an important functional material in the electronics industry, with core applications concentrated in three main areas: dielectric ceramics, thin-film deposition, and optical devices. In multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), it serves as a primary component of the dielectric layer, effectively enhancing capacitance and temperature stability to meet miniaturization demands. In physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes, high-purity lead oxide is fabricated into sputtering targets or evaporation materials used to deposit ferroelectric and piezoelectric thin films (such as PZT) as well as functional oxide layers, which are widely applied in semiconductor chips, MEMS devices, and optical coatings. In electronic ceramics, it acts as a foundational raw material for synthesizing relaxor ferroelectrics like lead magnesium niobate (PMN), and helps adjust the resistivity and Curie temperature of ceramics to improve their electrical performance. Additionally, leveraging its high density and radiation-absorption properties, high-purity lead oxide is used in the manufacturing of CRT glass and X-ray shielding windows, as well as serving as an optical thin-film material for anti-reflective coatings.
