Be₂Br is an inorganic ceramic compound combining beryllium and bromine, representing a halide ceramic in the beryllium compound family. This is a research-phase material with limited industrial deployment; beryllium halides are primarily studied for their ionic conductivity, thermal properties, and potential applications in advanced ceramic systems where beryllium's low density and high stiffness are advantageous. Engineers would consider this compound for specialized applications requiring lightweight ceramics, radiation shielding, or high-temperature environments, though material availability, toxicity concerns with beryllium processing, and lack of established manufacturing routes limit current practical use compared to conventional oxide ceramics.
