Silver decamolybdate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ag₆Mo₁₀O₃₃. It can be prepared by hydrothermal synthesis ^[3] and grown into nanorods by melt-quenching. ^[4] It is used as an alternative to platinum electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions. ^[5] Silver decamolybdate films can detect ammonia in air at concentrations greater than 2 ppm. ^[6]
