NaCuO2
NaCuO2 is a thermodynamically stable, semiconducting ternary oxide of sodium and copper.
About NaCuO2
NaCuO2 is a distinct ternary oxide composed of sodium, copper, and oxygen. As a thermodynamically stable phase located on the convex hull, it represents a robust configuration within its chemical system, making it a significant subject for structural analysis.
This semiconducting material has garnered considerable attention in materials science, supported by a diverse range of reported structural variations across multiple databases. Its electronic character and stability profile position it as an intriguing candidate for fundamental studies in transition metal oxide chemistry.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for NaCuO2, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
