Ca1 Cd1 O2
semiconductor· Ca1 Cd1 O2
Cadmium oxide (CdO) is an inorganic semiconductor compound belonging to the II-VI semiconductor family, characterized by a rock salt crystal structure. While cadmium oxide has historical use in applications requiring transparent conductive coatings and as a component in specialty glasses and ceramics, its industrial adoption has been significantly limited by cadmium's toxicity and environmental concerns; research interest persists primarily in optoelectronic devices and thin-film applications where its wide bandgap and electrical properties remain theoretically useful, though safer alternatives are increasingly preferred for production applications.

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.
