TiO (titanium monoxide) is a ceramic compound and interstitial phase that forms within the titanium-oxygen system, existing as a non-stoichiometric semiconductor with a rock-salt crystal structure. While primarily studied as a research material rather than a commercial product, TiO exhibits interesting electrical and optical properties that make it relevant for advanced applications where tunable conductivity and phase stability are important. This material sits between metallic titanium and fully oxidized TiO₂, offering a distinct property set that differs significantly from the more common and stable titanium dioxide used in industrial applications.
