Zn₂O₃ is a zinc oxide ceramic compound that exists primarily in research and theoretical contexts, as it is not a stable phase under normal conditions—zinc oxide naturally forms as ZnO (wurtzite or rocksalt structure). This material is of interest in solid-state chemistry and materials science for understanding zinc oxidation states and mixed-valence ceramic systems. While not widely commercialized, zinc oxide ceramics in general find use in electronics, photocatalysis, and thermal applications, and research into alternative zinc oxide phases like Zn₂O₃ may inform development of advanced functional ceramics with tuned optical, electrical, or catalytic properties.
