Copper oxide or copper oxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CuO. A black solid, it is one of two stable oxides of copper, the other being copper 2O or cuprous oxide. As a mineral, it is known as tenorite.It is a product of copper mining and a precursor to many other copper-containing products and compounds.

Application of Copper Oxide (CuO)
1
As an important product in copper mining, copper oxide (II) is the starting point for the production of other copper salts. For example, many wood preservatives are made from copper oxide.
2
Copper oxide is used as a pigment in ceramics to produce blue, red, and green, and sometimes gray, pink, or black glazes.
3
It has also been mistakenly used as a dietary supplement in animal feed. Due to its low biological activity, the absorbed copper can be ignored.
4
It is also used for welding with copper alloys.
Copper oxide electrodes were a part of the early battery type, known as Edison Lagrange batteries. Copper oxide is also used for lithium battery types.
