CuO
ceramic· CuO
Copper oxide (CuO) is an inorganic ceramic compound that exists in a monoclinic crystal structure, serving as both a standalone functional material and a precursor or dopant in advanced ceramics and composites. It is widely used in electronics, catalysis, pigmentation, and energy storage applications, where its semiconductor properties and chemical reactivity are valued. Engineers select CuO for thin-film applications, gas sensors, battery cathodes, and as an additive in glazes and coatings where its stability and cost-effectiveness make it competitive against more expensive alternatives.

Regulatory Screening
Environmental
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.
