Ce3Th2O9

Ce3Th2O9 is a mixed rare-earth and actinide oxide ceramic compound combining cerium and thorium oxides. This material belongs to the family of actinide-bearing ceramics and is primarily investigated in nuclear materials research and advanced ceramics development, where it serves as a model system for understanding the behavior of thorium-containing compounds and rare-earth interactions in high-temperature environments. Due to its composition, it is of particular interest for nuclear fuel applications, waste immobilization studies, and fundamental research into ceramic stability under radiation, though it remains largely in the research phase rather than widespread industrial use.
