· Y2 Au2 O4

Y₂Au₂O₄ is an experimental ternary oxide semiconductor combining yttrium, gold, and oxygen—a rare composition that bridges precious metal chemistry with rare-earth oxide ceramics. This material remains primarily in research and development phases, with potential applications in advanced optoelectronics, catalysis, and high-temperature sensing where the unique combination of gold's chemical stability and yttrium oxide's ceramic strength could offer advantages over conventional alternatives. Engineers would consider this compound for niche applications requiring unusual thermal or electronic properties not achievable with more established materials, though commercial availability and manufacturing scalability are currently limited.

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.
