What is TiON?
Titanium Oxynitride (TiON)
Research-grade titanium oxynitride (TiON) nanoparticles: an oxygen-rich, black, absorptive functional powder for optical, photothermal, conductive-coating, and related research evaluation.

What It Is Not
- TiON is titanium oxynitride, not TiN titanium nitride or TiO2 titanium dioxide.
When Not to Use It
- Do not use TiON when phase-pure TiN or TiO2 behavior is required, or when its dark absorber character conflicts with visible appearance.
Intrinsic Screening Summary
- Identity screen
- TiO1.5-1.8N0.2-0.4 oxygen-rich titanium oxynitride; O:N ≈5:1; Cubic / cube-like TiON-rich nanoparticles; loosely aggregated dry powder; TiON-rich FCC rock-salt phase
- Intrinsic feature
- The article reports titanium oxynitride nanotube metamaterials with broadband absorption across ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared ranges and discusses photothermal applications.
- Material-level integration
- Use when evaluating IR Shielding Coatings / Optical Black Coatings formulations or systems.
