Thorium tungstate (ThWO₃) is a ceramic compound combining thorium oxide with tungsten oxide, belonging to the family of mixed-metal oxides. While primarily investigated in research settings rather than established production, this material is of interest for high-temperature applications, nuclear fuel matrices, and specialized refractory applications due to thorium's nuclear properties and tungsten's thermal stability. ThWO₃ represents an experimental compound whose industrial relevance depends on developing cost-effective synthesis and demonstrating performance advantages over established alternatives like zirconia or alumina ceramics.
