Morphology

electroceramic + material

The phrase is compositionally built from electro- (relating to electricity) + ceramic + material, so the meaning 'a ceramic material with electrical properties' can be derived if a learner recognizes the prefix and the word 'ceramic'. However, 'electroceramic' is specialized technical vocabulary and may be unknown to a typical B1 learner, so the sense is not fully immediately transparent to general learners.

Etymology

The term electroceramic material combines electro ('electric') and ceramic ('pottery-like material'), so imagine a hard, baked piece of pottery that also works with electricity. That's why an electroceramic material means a ceramic made to carry or respond to electrical signals and is used inside electronic parts like sensors, phone components, and medical machines.
