Preferred compounds include Bi(III,V) oxide, Co(II,III) oxide, Cu(I,III) oxide, Fe(II,III) oxide, Mn(II,III) oxide, and Pr(III,IV) oxide, and Ag(I,III) oxide, or a combination thereof. These compounds may be in a crystalline state having metallic cations of two different valences, or electronic states, in the inorganic crystal. Also included are articles containing such compositions, such as wound dressings, and methods for facilitating or enhancing skin growth using these compounds, compositions, and articles, such as for the treatment or management of burns or skin grafts.
