Ce3U is a ceramic intermetallic compound combining cerium and uranium, belonging to the rare-earth uranium ceramic family. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial production, studied for its potential in advanced nuclear fuel applications, high-temperature structural uses, and actinide materials science. Its notable density and ceramic nature position it within the broader context of refractory and nuclear materials research, where cerium-uranium systems are investigated for thermal stability and radiation resistance in specialized nuclear fuel cycles.
