· Ta4 V2 Zn4 O16

Ta₄V₂Zn₄O₁₆ is a mixed-metal oxide semiconductor compound combining tantalum, vanadium, and zinc in a layered or complex crystal structure. This material belongs to the family of ternary/quaternary oxide semiconductors and is primarily investigated in research contexts for functional electronic and photocatalytic applications rather than established commercial production. The combination of these metals—particularly vanadium's variable oxidation states and tantalum's stability—suggests potential for tunable bandgap and redox activity, making it a candidate for next-generation photocatalysts, sensors, or alternative semiconductor devices where conventional binary oxides fall short.

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.
