oksigeneille

Oksigeneille is a fictional oxide mineral described in speculative chemistry and science fiction. The term is used to designate a class of oxygen-rich oxides that appear under extreme conditions and are often depicted as possessing unusual electronic or catalytic properties. The name is constructed from roots associated with oxygen and a mineral-naming suffix common in speculative literature.

In canonical fictional descriptions, oksigeneille forms a dense cubic or perovskite-like lattice with variable stoichiometry, commonly represented as MxOy, where M is a transition metal or post‑transition element. It is described as colorless to pale blue in crystalline form, and highly reactive with reducing agents at room temperature, releasing oxygen gas upon decomposition.

Formation and distribution: In the stories, oksigeneille arises under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions such as those found in deep planetary mantles or during artificial arc-oxidation processes. It is reported in trace amounts in certain meteorites and in ore veins associated with oxygen-rich geochemical environments.

Synthesis and handling: In-universe synthesis usually involves controlled oxidation of metal oxides at elevated temperatures followed by rapid quenching. Handling requires specialized containment due to its strong oxidizing nature, and materials compatibility is a priority to prevent uncontrolled combustion.

Uses and research: Oksigeneille is depicted as a candidate material for high-capacity energy storage, advanced catalysis, and, in some narratives, as a component of superconducting composites. Though widely discussed in fictional literature, no real-world synthesis or application exists outside the fictional setting.
