Calcium thallic chloride (CaTlCl₃) is an inorganic halide ceramic compound composed of calcium, thallium, and chlorine. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial use, belonging to the family of mixed-metal halide ceramics that are studied for potential applications in solid-state ionics, optics, and specialized electrochemical devices. The incorporation of thallium—a heavy, toxic element—constrains practical applications and handling, making this compound valuable mainly in fundamental materials science research exploring halide crystal structures, ionic conductivity, and photonic properties.
