BaNbO2N
semiconductor· BaNbO2N
BaNbO₂N is an oxynitride semiconductor compound containing barium, niobium, oxygen, and nitrogen. This material is primarily investigated in research settings as a photocatalyst and functional ceramic for environmental and energy applications, particularly for water splitting and photocatalytic degradation under visible light. It represents an emerging class of metal oxynitride semiconductors that offers potential advantages over conventional oxide semiconductors through tunable bandgap engineering via nitrogen incorporation, though industrial adoption remains limited and material processing is still being optimized.
