· Na1 Cu1 O2

Sodium copper oxide (NaCuO₂) is a layered semiconductor compound belonging to the family of mixed-metal oxides, characterized by a crystal structure containing alternating planes of sodium and copper-oxygen coordination. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established industrial production, with investigation focused on energy storage applications (particularly sodium-ion batteries as a post-lithium alternative) and thermoelectric device prototyping. Its appeal stems from the abundance of sodium compared to lithium, lower cost, and the tunable electronic properties achievable through copper's variable oxidation states—though commercial viability remains under investigation and performance metrics continue to be optimized against competing sodium-based cathode materials.

Export Control

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.
