Abstract
Among the several applications of molybdates, the photocatalysis is a
highly appealing process with multiple applications, mainly in the
fields of pollution removal. In view of this, the main objective of this
work was to study the potentialities and the evolution of the
technological features inherent to patent deposits, and panorama of
publications of articles on molybdates, as well as the related
photocatalytic a properties, specifically in the range years from 2000
to 2017. The study was performed using information from the Web of
Science, SciELO, European Patent Office (EPO), United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO), Derwent Innovations Index, and the database of
the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) of Brazil. The
research has shown growth in the number of patents and articles over the
years. Brazil is well positioned in the world ranking of publications of
articles containing photocatalytic properties of molybdates, but does
not display patents filed with INPI. Regarding the world stage, the
results indicate a promising area with significant growth in the number
of patents and scientific articles.
