· RhCl3

Rhodium trichloride (RhCl3) is a layered ceramic compound featuring rhodium in the +3 oxidation state with chloride ligands, known for its two-dimensional crystal structure that enables layer-by-layer exfoliation. While primarily a research material rather than a production ceramic, RhCl3 has attracted attention in catalysis, materials science, and electronic applications due to its transition metal chemistry and van der Waals-bonded structure; it is particularly relevant for researchers exploring advanced catalytic surfaces, 2D nanomaterial synthesis, and solid-state electronic devices where the exfoliable nature and rhodium's chemical activity offer advantages over conventional layered oxides or halides.
