ceramic

· JVASP-107154· MgO2

MgO2 is an inorganic ceramic compound based on magnesium peroxide, belonging to the family of metal peroxides. While MgO2 is primarily of academic and research interest rather than a mature commercial material, it represents a class of compounds with potential applications in energy storage, catalysis, and advanced oxidation systems due to the reactive peroxide functionality. The material's development is driven by interest in hydrogen storage, oxygen release systems, and specialized catalyst supports where the peroxide chemistry offers capabilities beyond conventional oxides like MgO.
