ReCuO2N

ReCuO2N is an experimental oxynitride ceramic compound containing rare-earth (Re), copper (Cu), oxygen, and nitrogen elements. This material belongs to the emerging class of mixed-anion ceramics that combine oxides and nitrides to achieve enhanced properties such as improved thermal stability, electrical conductivity, or mechanical strength compared to conventional single-anion ceramics. Research on ReCuO2N-type compounds is primarily driven by potential applications in high-temperature structural ceramics, electronic materials, and catalysis, where the dual-anion framework offers tunable properties unavailable in traditional oxide or nitride systems alone.
