GaTiOFN

GaTiOFN is an experimental oxynitride ceramic compound combining gallium, titanium, oxygen, and nitrogen elements, representing a mixed-anion ceramic in the broader family of nitride and oxynitride materials. This material is primarily of research interest for photocatalytic and optical applications, where the nitrogen incorporation into a titanium oxide matrix can modify electronic structure and band gap properties compared to conventional oxides. The compound exemplifies the potential of oxynitride ceramics to bridge properties between purely oxide and purely nitride ceramics, making it notable for emerging energy conversion and environmental remediation applications, though it remains largely in the development phase rather than established industrial production.
