Calcium nitride (Ca₃N₂) is an inorganic ceramic compound and semiconductor material belonging to the family of metal nitrides. It is primarily of research and development interest rather than an established commercial material, with potential applications in optoelectronics, photocatalysis, and high-temperature semiconductor devices where its wide bandgap and thermal stability could be advantageous.
