Russia's insistence on paying for Russian gas in rubles has rattled European countries: Greece held an emergency meeting of suppliers, the Dutch government would urge consumers to use less gas, and the French energy regulator told consumers not to panic. Russian gas meets one-third of Europe's annual energy needs.

Russia said they could expand their demand for ruble payments for other commodities, including oil, grain, fertilizer, coal, and metals, which raised the risk of recession in Europe and the US. 

Moscow is expected to unveil its ruble payment plan in early April, but it said it would not immediately ask buyers to pay for gas in rubles.  

Western countries have said paying in rubles would be a breach of contract, and renegotiation could take months or longer. This uncertainty has pushed commodity market prices higher.

The supply and prices of other commodities like the MoSi2 Powder could also be affected.

 About Molybdenum Silicide MoSi2 Powder: 
MoSi2 is an intermetallic compound, molybdenum silicide is a refractory ceramic, mainly used for heating elements. It has a medium-density, a melting point of 2030 ° C, which is electrically conductive. At high temperatures, it forms a passivation layer of silica to protect it from further oxidation. The thermal stability of MoSi2 and the thermal stability of its high radiation make such materials and high radiation coatings in thermal shields from the atmosphere as they are used next to WSI2. MoSi2 is a material with a four-square crystal structure (α-modified) gray metal; its β-modification is hexagonal and unstable. It is insoluble in most acids but is dissolved in nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
 
Although MoSi2 has excellent oxidation and high Young's modulus at temperatures above 1000 ° C, it is brittle at lower temperatures. Moreover, at 1200 ° C or more, it will lose creep resistance. These properties are limited to their structural materials but can be shifted by using it as a composite with another material. 

Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) is a promising candidate material for high-temperature structural applications. It is a high melting point (2030 C) material with excellent oxidation resistance and a moderate density (6.24 g/cm3). However, low toughness at low temperatures and high creep rates at elevated temperatures have hindered its commercialization in structural applications. Much effort has been invested in MoSi2 composites as alternatives to pure molybdenum disilicide for oxidizing and aggressive environments. Molybdenum disilicide-based heating elements have been used extensively in high-temperature furnaces. The low electrical resistance of silicides in combination with high thermal stability, electron-migration resistance, and excellent diffusion-barrier characteristics is important for microelectronic applications.

How is Molybdenum Silicide MoSi2 Powder produced?
Molybdenum disilicide and MoSi2-based materials are usually made by sintering. Plasma spraying can be used to produce dense monoliths and composite forms. The material produced by this method may contain a certain proportion of β-MoSi2 due to its rapid cooling.

Applications of Molybdenum Silicide MoSi2 Powder:
Molybdenum disilicide heating elements can be used for temperatures up to 1800 ° C, in electric furnaces used in laboratory and production environment in the production of glass, steel, electronics, ceramics, and in heat treatment of materials. Molybdenum disilicide is used in microelectronics as A Contact Material.
Heating element
MoSi2 is a conductive silicide that has an oxidation property due to a stable silica layer on its surface at a high temperature.
Although the top MoSi2 element can operate at temperatures up to 1800 ° C, the material is very brittle, which may suffer serious creep during use. However, they have process advantages because they can work under high electrical loads without aging, and will not exhibit increased resistivity during use. They have antioxidant properties in air, oxygen and oxygen-rich atmosphere.
Moreover, they can be used with ammonia, nitrogen, hydrogen, a rare gas, and limited vacuum, but due to the failure of the protective oxide layer, the operating temperature and life can be reduced.
MoSi2 elements are ready-made elements and can be made into a bending or straight form of a variety of sizes. These elements are mainly used in production furnaces and laboratory furnaces in ceramics, glass, steel, electronics and heat treatment industries.
High-temperature structure
Amazingness and high-temperature elasticity make MoSi2 a very promising material for high-temperature applications such as gas turbine engines. Many researchers strive to improve high temperature creep resistance and low-temperature ductility. However, there are no commercially available composites with all preferred features.

Where is the best place for humans to live in outer space? So far, the moon is more habitable in outer space, and it is likely to be turned into a planet. However, whether humans can live on the moon for a long time, these questions have always been lingering in everyone's minds, always There is no way to get an answer. According to the report, a team from the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Beijing, after nearly 370 days of closed life, finally simulated the life experiment on the moon, and finally knew what the final truth was. Live here for a long time.
