ThNbO3 is a thorium niobate ceramic compound belonging to the perovskite oxide family, typically studied as a potential nuclear fuel or refractory material due to thorium's nuclear properties and niobium's high-temperature stability. This is primarily a research-phase material investigated for advanced nuclear fuel applications, accident-tolerant fuel development, and high-temperature structural ceramics, where its combination of thorium content and refractory characteristics offer potential advantages over conventional oxide fuels in extreme environments.
