Relating to ceramic materials that have electrical or electrochemical properties, used in electronics and industrial applications.
From electro- (electricity) + ceramic (made from clay or mineral materials fired at high temperature). The term emerged in the mid-20th century as scientists created ceramics with special electrical properties.
Electroceramics include the materials in your phone's capacitors and sensors—they're ceramics that respond to electricity in useful ways, helping make electronics smaller and more efficient.
