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.
