AuO
ceramic· JVASP-138250· AuO
Gold oxide (AuO) is a ceramic compound combining metallic gold with oxygen, representing an uncommon oxidation state of gold that exists primarily in research and specialized applications rather than commodity use. This material belongs to the broader family of metal oxides and is notable for its high density and interesting mechanical properties that distinguish it from more common precious metal compounds. Industrial interest in AuO centers on its potential in catalysis, semiconductor applications, and advanced materials research, where the unique electronic properties of gold-oxygen bonding offer advantages over conventional oxides or pure gold in specific chemical or thermal environments.

Regulatory Screening
Environmental
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
