AlHO
Overview

About AlHO

AlHO is an insulating compound composed of aluminum, hydrogen, and oxygen. As a wide-band-gap material, it exhibits electronic properties characteristic of highly stable dielectric substances, making it a subject of interest for fundamental materials research.

Because it sits near the thermodynamic hull, AlHO is considered a likely synthesizable phase. Its existence across multiple structural databases suggests a complex landscape of potential configurations that warrant further investigation for specialized applications.
