Rhenium dioxide (ReO₂) is a ceramic compound combining the refractory metal rhenium with oxygen, belonging to the transition metal oxide ceramic family. It is investigated primarily in research contexts for high-temperature applications and catalytic systems, where rhenium's exceptional thermal stability and the oxide's chemical properties make it relevant for extreme environments; however, its limited commercial availability and high material cost restrict it to specialized aerospace, nuclear, and catalyst research rather than mainstream industrial use.
