As　molybdenum-containing　alloys　show　high　hardness,　excellent　wear　and　corrosion　resistance　and　catalytic　hydrogen　evolution　performance,　they　have　been　extensively　used　as　wear　and　corrosion　resistant　coatings　and　electrode　materials　in　the　fields　of　metal　rotection,　hydrogen　production　from　electrolytic　water.　Due　to　its　advantages　such　as　fast　speed,　dense　coating　and　abundant　products,　electrodeposition　has　become　one　of　the　dominant　technologies　for　the　preparation　of　molybdenum　containing　alloys.　In　the　early　years,　electrodeposition　was　used　to　prepare　merely　binary　molybdenum　alloys,　and　its　process　and　mechanism　were　deeply　studied.　However,　the　properties　of　binary　molybdenum　alloys　were　limited,　which　could　not　easily　be　improved　by　adjusting　the　process　parameters.　There＇s　a　tendency　in　recent　years　to　improve　the　properties　of　binary　molybdenum　alloys　by　adding　other　elements　to　prepare　multicomponent　molybdenum　alloys　or　/　and　adding　particles　to　prepare　particle　doping　molybdenum　alloys.　Elements　of　C,　Fe,　P,　W　and　Cr　have　the　positive　effect　on　different　properties　of　the　molybdenum-containing　alloys.　C,　Zn,　Sn,　S,　Fe　and　P　in　the　alloys　appear　to　result　in　improving　the　catalytic　hydrogen　evolution　performance　with　the　mechanism　of　a　synergistic　effect　among　the　metallic　elements.　W,　Cr　and　P　achieve　an　improvement　on　the　microhardness,　wear　resistance　and　corrosion　resistance　of　the　alloys　due　to　the　change　of　structure　and　lattice　distortion.　For　particle　doping,　ZrO2　,　TiO2　,　SiC,　TiN　in　the　alloys　are　appropriate　to　improve　the　microhardness,　wear　resistance　and　corrosion　resistance,　because　they　are　dispersed　in　the　alloy　matrix,　refining　grains　and　hindering　dislocation　movement.　Recently,　magnetic　field　and　ultrasonic　technique　are　more　and　more　introduced　in　the　electrodeposition　process　of　the　particle　doping　molybdenum　alloys　to　improve　both　the　alloy　performance　and　current　efficiency.　This　review　offers　a　retrospection　of　the　research　efforts　with　respect　to　electrodeposition　of　molybdenum　containing　alloys,　provides　elaborate　descriptions　of　the　electrodeposition　technology,mechanism　and　alloy　properties　of　binary　molybdenum-containing　alloys　such　as　Ni-Mo　and　Co-Mo,　multicomponent　molybdenum-containing　alloys　such　as　Ni-Mo-Zn　and　Co-Mo-P,　and　particle　doping　molybdenum-containing　alloys　such　as　Ni-Mo-ZrO2　and　Co-Mo-TiO2　,　and　sums　up　the　similarities　and　differences　of　alloying　elements　and　particle　on　improving　properties.　We　then　show　solicitude　for　the　problems　of　the　molybdenum　containing　alloys.　We　are　confident　that　the　molybdenum-containing　alloys　have　a　bright　future　in　the　development　and　innovation　of　better　properties　and　wider　applications.　©　2023　Cailiao　Daobaoshe/　Materials　Review.　All　rights　reserved.
