Gadolinium phosphate (GdPO4) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth phosphate family, characterized by a dense crystalline structure. While primarily studied in research contexts for its thermal stability and potential optical properties, GdPO4 is investigated for specialized applications in high-temperature ceramics, nuclear fuel matrix materials, and phosphate-based waste immobilization systems where rare-earth element incorporation is beneficial. Its rare-earth composition makes it of particular interest in nuclear and materials research rather than mainstream industrial production.
