The study aims to develop a method for predicting melting points of metal oxides based on bond-breaking characteristics.
Developed a semi-empirical method for melting point predictions.
Identified three critical bond-breaking parameters: bond length, bond density, and bond ionicity.
Validated the method using measurements from simple and complex cubic oxides.
Found strong consistency between predicted melting points and experimental data.
Demonstrated that bond-breaking characteristics directly relate to macroscopic melting behaviors.
Showed potential for designing metal oxides with melting points over 3273 K.
