Calcium germanate (CaGeO) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining calcium, germanium, and oxygen, belonging to the family of mixed-metal oxide ceramics. This material exists primarily in research and development contexts, where it is investigated for potential applications in optoelectronics, photocatalysis, and solid-state device applications due to germanium's semiconductor properties and calcium's stabilizing role in the crystal structure. While not yet established as a mainstream engineering material, calcium germanate represents an emerging compound in the broader class of functional oxide ceramics that researchers explore for sensing, photonic, and catalytic applications where conventional alternatives (such as silicates or simple oxides) may have limitations.
