Cerium oxide (Ce₂O₃) is a rare-earth ceramic semiconductor material, part of the lanthanide oxide family that exhibits mixed-valence behavior and ionic conductivity properties. This material appears primarily in research and advanced technology applications rather than commodity manufacturing, including solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, and polishing compounds where its oxygen storage capacity and redox activity are leveraged.
