ThRh is a ceramic compound composed of thorium and rhodium, representing an intermetallic or ceramic-like phase that combines a radioactive refractory metal with a precious transition metal. This material exists primarily in research and specialized high-temperature contexts rather than as a commodity engineering ceramic; its combination of thorium's nuclear properties and rhodium's corrosion resistance makes it relevant to advanced applications requiring both thermal stability and chemical inertness. The material is notable for potential use in nuclear fuel applications, catalytic systems, or extreme-environment components, though practical engineering adoption is limited due to thorium's radioactive nature and the high cost of rhodium.
