HgBaOFN

HgBaOFN is an experimental oxynitride ceramic compound containing mercury, barium, oxygen, and nitrogen elements. This material belongs to the family of mixed-anion ceramics (oxynitrides) that are primarily of research interest for advanced functional applications, as mercury-containing ceramics are rarely deployed in high-volume industrial production due to toxicity and handling constraints. The oxynitride class is being explored for photocatalysis, optoelectronic devices, and solid-state ionic conductivity, where the dual anion framework can tailor electronic structure and ion transport—making it potentially valuable for next-generation energy conversion or environmental remediation technologies, though practical engineering adoption remains limited pending further development and regulatory assessment.
