Iodine pentoxide (I2O5), also known as diiodine pentoxide, is a strong oxidizer which has been recently proposed as an iodine-rich oxidizer in nanoenergetic formulations, whose combustion products lead to molecular iodine as a biocidal agent.
Iodine pentoxide is used for analysis of carbon monoxide and for CO removal from air. It also is used as an oxidizing agent in other oxidation reactions.
