Cerium trihydride (CeH3) is an ionic ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth hydride family, formed by the reaction of cerium metal with hydrogen. While primarily a research and specialty material rather than a commodity ceramic, CeH3 is studied for its potential in hydrogen storage systems, advanced nuclear fuel applications, and as a precursor for cerium oxide ceramics used in catalysis and environmental remediation. The material's notable advantage over conventional ceramics lies in its hydrogen content and chemical reactivity, making it of particular interest in clean energy and nuclear fuel cycle research.
