· CaTaO2N

Calcium tantalum oxynitride (CaTaO₂N) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the perovskite-related oxynitride family, combining metallic (Ca, Ta) and nonmetallic (O, N) elements in a structured lattice. This is a research-phase material primarily investigated for photocatalytic and optoelectronic applications where the band gap engineering enabled by nitrogen incorporation offers improved light absorption compared to pure oxides. CaTaO₂N remains experimental with potential in solar energy conversion, environmental remediation, and visible-light photocatalysis, where its mixed-anion composition provides advantages over conventional tantalate ceramics for next-generation sustainable technologies.
