CeThO3 is a mixed-oxide ceramic compound combining cerium and thorium oxides, representing an actinide-bearing ceramic in the fluorite-structure family. This material is primarily investigated in nuclear fuel and waste immobilization research, where its chemical stability and radiation tolerance make it a candidate for encapsulating actinides or as a surrogate phase in advanced fuel forms. While not yet in widespread commercial production, CeThO3 is notable in materials research for modeling thorium-based nuclear fuel behavior and understanding oxide ceramic performance under irradiation.
