Sodium cerium oxide (Na₂CeO₃) is a mixed-metal oxide ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth oxide family, functioning as a semiconductor material. This compound is primarily of research interest for applications exploiting cerium's catalytic and redox properties combined with sodium's ionic conductivity, particularly in solid-state electrochemistry and catalytic systems. It represents an emerging material rather than a commodity ceramic, with potential value in oxygen-ion conductors, photocatalysts, and energy conversion devices where the coupled ionic and electronic transport properties of cerium oxides can be leveraged.
