A new method for the synthesis of disodium dimolybdate (Na₂Mo₂O₇) in the process of ultrasonic spray pyrolysis using acidified aqueous solutions of thermodynamically stable molybdenum (VI) oxide clusters as a precursor is described. Na₂Mo₂O₇ particles were collected in alcohols (ethanol, 2-propanol, isobutyl alcohol), and ultracentrifugation was used to isolate solid material from solution. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of uniform spherical Na₂Mo₂O₇ particles with an average diameter of about 0.25 μm. The X-ray diffraction analysis undoubtedly confirmed the formation of orthorhombic Na₂Mo₂O₇ for samples synthesized at a temperature as low as 300°C.
