Mn1 O1
semiconductor· Mn1 O1
MnO (manganese(II) oxide) is an ionic ceramic compound and semiconductor belonging to the transition metal oxide family, typically crystallizing in the rock-salt structure. It is used primarily in battery technologies (particularly as a cathode material in alkaline and zinc-manganese cells), as a pigment and colorant in ceramics and glasses, and in catalytic applications where its redox properties are exploited. MnO is valued for its electrochemical activity and thermal stability, though it is often incorporated into composite or doped formulations to enhance performance compared to pure manganese oxide alternatives.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
