CuInON2

CuInON₂ is an experimental ternary ceramic compound containing copper, indium, oxygen, and nitrogen, belonging to the family of mixed-anion ceramics (oxynitrides). This material is primarily of research interest for semiconductor and photocatalytic applications, where the combination of cationic and anionic elements can create favorable bandgap and electronic properties not easily achieved in conventional binary oxides or nitrides. The oxynitride composition makes it potentially valuable for visible-light photocatalysis, thin-film transistors, or optoelectronic devices where engineers seek improved light absorption or charge carrier behavior compared to standard oxide or nitride alternatives.
