Rhodium oxide (RhO2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black appearance and is known for its high stability and resistance to corrosion. It typically exists in a tetragonal crystal structure and is a semiconductor, exhibiting interesting electrical properties that make it useful in various applications, including catalysis and as a potential material for electronic devices. Rhodium oxide is often utilized as a catalyst in chemical reactions, particularly in the oxidation of organic compounds. Its high melting point and thermal stability contribute to its effectiveness in high-temperature applications. Additionally, RhO2 can be synthesized through various methods, including thermal decomposition of rhodium salts or by reacting rhodium metal with oxygen. While it is not extensively studied compared to other metal oxides, its unique properties make it a subject of interest in materials science and catalysis research. Safety precautions should be taken when handling RhO2, as with many metal oxides, due to potential health risks associated with inhalation or prolonged exposure.

Rhodium oxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula RhO2. It is a rare and expensive transition metal oxide that is used in biological treatment, sample preparation, and other applications. Rhodium oxide has a linear plot of specific activity versus pH, with an optimal range of pH 7-8. The gene product of the mutant strain was localized to the lipid kinase subunit. When exposed to water vapor, it undergoes redox cycling and polymerizes into polyrhodium hydroxide at low concentrations.
