Used as a solid lubricant in high-temperature and high-vacuum environments where conventional lubricants fail. Effective in aerospace and automotive applications due to its stability under extreme conditions. Also applied in electronic devices as a semiconductor material. Shows promise in catalysis, particularly in hydrogen evolution reactions for water splitting and hydrodesulfurization to remove sulfur from fossil fuels like diesel and gasoline, helping reduce environmental sulfur emissions for cleaner fuels. Employed in coatings to reduce friction and wear in mechanical systems. Utilized in high-temperature materials and corrosion-resistant applications.
