Thorium tetrabromide (ThBr₄) is an ionic ceramic compound composed of thorium and bromine, belonging to the halide ceramics family. While primarily of academic and research interest rather than widespread industrial use, ThBr₄ and related thorium halides are investigated for nuclear fuel forms, specialized refractory applications, and fundamental materials science exploring actinide chemistry. Its thermal and mechanical stability make it relevant to researchers developing advanced nuclear materials and high-temperature ceramic systems, though it remains largely experimental compared to established commercial ceramics.
