General description

Silicon monoxide (SiO) is a unique compound with high optical transparency and electrical conductivity. Its ability to form thin films allows for effective use in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and photodetectors, where it enhances light absorption and charge transport. Additionally, SiO exhibits promising characteristics for use in battery technologies, particularly in lithium-ion batteries, where it can improve energy density and cycle stability.

Application
