BaCe (barium cerium oxide) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining barium and cerium oxides, typically investigated as a functional ceramic material for high-temperature and electrochemical applications. This material is primarily explored in research contexts for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrolytes, oxygen ion conductors, and thermal barrier coatings due to cerium's redox activity and barium's alkaline-earth contribution to the crystal structure. Its selection over alternatives depends on achieving specific ionic conductivity, thermal stability, and chemical compatibility requirements in extreme-temperature environments.
