Cerium silicide (CeSI) is a rare-earth ceramic compound combining cerium with silicon, belonging to the family of intermetallic and ceramic materials used in high-temperature and specialized applications. While not a mainstream engineering material, cerium silicides are of research interest for their potential in thermal barrier coatings, nuclear fuel applications, and advanced ceramics where rare-earth elements provide oxidation resistance and thermal stability at elevated temperatures. Engineers would consider this material in niche applications requiring rare-earth properties or where its chemical bonding characteristics offer advantages over conventional silicates or oxides.
