Inqaku elithi "i-cirium" yafunyanwa kwaye yabizwa ngonyaka ka-1803 ngeSayensi yaseJamani u-Martin Heinrich Klaproth kunye noSweden Jakob Berzelius, kwi-wililish cheinger, ezokuhlonitshwa kwe-1801.
ICerium inoluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo:
(1) Njengesongezelelo kwiglasi,i-ceriumUnokufumana i-ultraviolet kunye ne-radiation ye-radiation, eyenza ukuba isetyenziswe kakhulu kwiglasi yemoto. Oku akuphelanga kwizihlangu ezichasene nemilinganiselo ye-iltraviolet kodwa ikwanciphisa iqondo lobushushu bezithuthi, ngaloo ndlela belondolozwa ngamandla asetyenziselwa ukwenziwa komoya. Ukususela ngo-1997, yonke iglasi yemoto eJapan ifakiwe i-cerium oxide, kwaye ngo-1996, iUnited States ithe itoni engaphezu kwe-1 000 yei-cerium oxidekwiglasi yemoto.
(2)I-ceriumOkwangoku uqashwe kwi-AutoMotive Calliestys, ngokuthintela ukukhutshwa okubalulekileyo kweegesi ezihlangeneyo ze-gesies kwimozulu. EUnited States, ukusetyenziswa kwe-cirium ngenxa yesi sinye kwisithathu somhlaba onqabileyo womhlaba onqabileyo.

Ukugxininiswa kweCerium kuyabonakala kuwo wonke amasimi amaninzi, kubandakanya i-powders esples, izixhobo zokugcina i-hydrogen, i-therium tungrodes, izixhobo ze-piezoelectric, izixhobo ze-pieraectric, izabelo ze-pienet, isazisi esisisigxina se-Gerline izitho zithi, kunye neentsimbi ezinemibala.
