Product Description
Cupric Oxide (CuO) is an inorganic compound belonging to the class of metal oxides. It is a black, crystalline solid composed of copper and oxygen in a 1:1 ratio. Industrially, it is produced through the thermal decomposition of copper(II) salts such as copper nitrate, hydroxide, or carbonate, yielding a stable oxide with high purity. Its simple composition and reliable synthesis make it a widely available material for diverse industrial applications.Physically, Cupric Oxide is insoluble in water but soluble in acids and ammonium hydroxide, with notable stability under ambient conditions. It exhibits strong oxidizing properties, high thermal stability, and semiconducting behavior, which enhance its versatility. Valued for its role as a catalyst, pigment, and precursor in chemical processes, CuO is extensively used in ceramics, glass, and metallurgy. Major application areas include electronics, batteries, and chemical synthesis, where its functional attributes support performance, durability, and efficiency in advanced formulations.
