Ce1Cd1Au2 is an intermetallic compound combining cerium, cadmium, and gold in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material studied primarily in solid-state chemistry and materials science contexts rather than established industrial practice. Intermetallic compounds of this type are investigated for potential applications in thermoelectric devices, catalysis, and advanced electronic materials where the combination of rare-earth (cerium) and noble metal (gold) elements may produce unusual electronic or thermal transport properties; however, practical adoption is limited by cost, scalability, and toxicity concerns associated with cadmium.
