ScTiO₂N is an experimental oxynitride semiconductor combining scandium, titanium, oxygen, and nitrogen into a mixed-anion crystalline compound. This material belongs to the emerging class of transition-metal oxynitrides, which are primarily investigated in academic and research settings for visible-light photocatalysis and renewable energy applications where conventional metal oxides fall short. ScTiO₂N is notable for its potential to narrow the bandgap compared to pure titanium dioxide, making it attractive for solar-driven water splitting, photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, and photoelectrochemical devices—though industrial-scale production and integration remain limited.
