Ce2 Th2 O7
semiconductor· Ce2 Th2 O7
Ce₂Th₂O₇ is a rare-earth oxide ceramic compound combining cerium and thorium oxides in a pyrochlore-related crystal structure. This material is primarily investigated in nuclear fuel research and advanced ceramics applications, where its chemical stability and radiation tolerance make it a candidate for next-generation nuclear waste forms and inert matrix fuels designed to immobilize actinides. Its development reflects efforts to improve upon traditional nuclear ceramics by leveraging the thermal and chemical properties of rare-earth–actinide oxide systems.
