Pr₁B₆ is a rare-earth hexaboride ceramic compound combining praseodymium with boron in a defined stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the rare-earth boride family, which exhibits high melting points, hardness, and electrical conductivity, making it of interest in high-temperature and electronic applications. Research into Pr₁B₆ focuses on its potential as a thermionic emitter, refractory component, and advanced ceramic material for extreme-environment devices, though commercial adoption remains limited compared to more established boride systems.
