Zn₁H₂O₂ is a zinc oxyhydroxide semiconductor compound with a layered crystal structure, belonging to the family of metal hydroxides and oxides. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest for optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications, where its wide band gap and surface reactivity make it attractive for environmental remediation, water splitting, and photodegradation processes. Compared to established semiconductors like TiO₂, zinc-based hydroxides offer tunable electronic properties and lower cost, though they remain less established in high-volume industrial production.
