U2O is a uranium oxide ceramic compound with a sub-stoichiometric composition relative to typical UO₂. This material is primarily encountered in nuclear fuel research and advanced refractory applications where uranium-bearing ceramics are engineered for controlled oxygen content. U2O and related uranium oxides are of significant interest in nuclear materials science for their thermal properties and phase stability, though deployment is limited to specialized nuclear and research contexts due to regulatory and safety constraints.
