· HoB2C2

HoB₂C₂ is an experimental ceramic compound combining holmium with boron and carbon, belonging to the rare-earth borocarbide family of advanced ceramics. This material exists primarily in research and development contexts, where borocarbides are investigated for their potential hardness, thermal stability, and refractory properties in extreme-condition applications. The holmium-based composition may offer advantages in specialized scenarios requiring rare-earth doping for enhanced mechanical or thermal performance, though industrial adoption remains limited.
