Used as a solid lubricant in high-temperature and high-pressure environments where liquid lubricants fail, such as in aerospace and automotive engines.

Commonly employed in greases and coatings for machinery operating under extreme conditions.

Serves as a catalyst in petroleum refining, particularly in hydrodesulfurization to remove sulfur from crude oil.

Utilized in the production of molybdenum metal, which is essential for making high-strength steel alloys used in construction, pipelines, and industrial equipment.

Applied in semiconductor manufacturing due to its layered structure, enabling use in electronic and optoelectronic devices like transistors and photodetectors.

Used in some types of lithium-ion batteries and energy storage systems as an electrode material.
