Cadmium borate (CdB₂O₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining cadmium oxide with boric oxide in a defined stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of metal borates and is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity ceramic. Applications include optical materials research, specialized glass formulations, and electromagnetic shielding applications where cadmium's properties provide specific functional benefits; however, its use is limited by cadmium toxicity regulations in many jurisdictions, making it relevant mainly for applications where alternatives cannot meet performance requirements or in research contexts exploring borate crystal structures and optical properties.
