CaThO3 (calcium thorium oxide) is a ceramic compound belonging to the perovskite family of oxides, potentially useful as a refractory or electrochemical material. This is primarily a research-phase compound studied for applications requiring high-temperature stability and ionic conductivity; it is not yet established in mainstream industrial production. The thorium content makes it of particular interest in nuclear fuel applications and solid oxide fuel cells, though alternative perovskites with more conventional cations (like yttria-stabilized zirconia) currently dominate commercial deployment.
