Iodine pentoxide (I₂O₅) is an inorganic oxide ceramic composed of iodine and oxygen, belonging to the family of transition metal and halogen oxides. This material is primarily used as a catalyst and oxidizing agent in chemical processing, particularly in the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in air purification systems and industrial gas treatment. I₂O₅ is notable for its strong oxidizing properties and thermal stability, making it a preferred choice over some alternative catalysts in applications where selective oxidation and low-temperature operation are required, though its use remains largely confined to specialized industrial chemistry rather than structural applications.
