Sodium zirconium silicate (NaZrSi2O7) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining zirconium and silicon oxides with sodium as a network modifier. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for nuclear waste immobilization, thermal barrier coatings, and refractory applications, where its crystalline structure and thermal stability offer potential advantages over conventional silicates. Its zirconium content makes it particularly relevant for high-temperature environments and radiation-resistant applications, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to established zirconia or silicate-based alternatives.
