Ce8U2O21 is a mixed-valence ceramic compound containing cerium and uranium oxides, belonging to the family of actinide-bearing ceramics. This material is primarily of research and nuclear materials science interest, studied for understanding phase stability, oxygen stoichiometry, and the chemical behavior of uranium in oxidized states within complex oxide matrices. Industrial applications are limited and specialized, centered on nuclear fuel development, nuclear waste form characterization, and fundamental studies of actinide chemistry in ceramic hosts—contexts where its unique defect chemistry and uranium coordination environment provide insights relevant to legacy fuel management and advanced fuel form design.
