Copper Oxide (CuO) Sputtering Targets

Cupric oxide (CuO) is a p-type semiconductor having a band gap of 1.21–1.51 eV and monoclinic crystal structure. In recent years, copper-oxide-based materials have found applications in various areas including heterogeneous catalysis, gas sensing, superconducting, and solar energy conversion. Copper oxides have been studied for photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production from solar-driven water splitting because they are abundant, nontoxic, and natively p-type and absorb visible light, although they face challenging issues such as instability in aqueous phases.

Cupric oxide (CuO) is used as a pigment in ceramics to produce blue, red, and green (and sometimes gray, pink, or black) glazes. It is also used to produce cuprammonium hydroxide solutions, used to make rayon. Copper(II) oxide has application as a p-type semiconductor, because it has a narrow band gap of 1.2 eV. It is an abrasive used to polish optical equipment. Cupric oxide can be used to produce dry cell batteries. It has also been used in wet cell batteries as the cathode, with lithium as an anode, and dioxalane mixed with lithium perchlorate as the electrolyte.
