NdO

Neodymium oxide (NdO) is a rare-earth ceramic compound belonging to the lanthanide oxide family, typically encountered as an intermediate or precursor phase in rare-earth materials chemistry. While pure NdO is not commonly used in end-use applications, neodymium oxides (including higher oxidation states like Nd₂O₃) are critical feedstock materials for producing permanent magnets, optical components, and catalytic systems that drive modern industrial processes.
