Ce3Ru

Ce3Ru is an intermetallic ceramic compound composed of cerium and ruthenium, belonging to the family of rare-earth metal ceramics and represents an experimental/research material rather than an established commercial product. This material is primarily of scientific interest in fundamental materials research, particularly in the study of rare-earth intermetallics for potential applications in high-temperature structural materials, catalysis, and electronic devices where the unique properties of cerium-transition metal compounds may be exploited. Engineers would consider Ce3Ru primarily in early-stage development contexts where cerium's catalytic activity or electronic properties, combined with ruthenium's corrosion resistance and refractory characteristics, might offer advantages in specialized high-temperature or chemically demanding environments.
