Iron(II) molybdate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula FeMoO₄.^[1]

Formation[]

Iron(II) molybdate is created by the reaction of iron(II) chloride or iron(II) sulfate^[2] and sodium molybdate.

FeMoO₄ has been used as relatively stable active material for anodes in Li-ion batteries for conversion reaction,^[3] as anode material in aqueous supercapacitors due to fast redox reactions^[2] and as catalyst for oxygen evolution in alkaline solutions.^[4]

Iron(II) molybdate is toxic and may cause irritation. It should not be released into the environment. Inhalation of dusts should be avoided.
