Ce₂ZrO₆ is a rare-earth zirconate ceramic compound combining cerium oxide with zirconium oxide in a pyrochlore or defect-fluorite crystal structure. This material is primarily investigated for high-temperature thermal barrier and radiation-resistant applications where conventional zirconia becomes unstable, particularly in nuclear fuel cladding environments and advanced thermal management systems where its chemical durability and reduced thermal conductivity changes with temperature are advantageous.
