1. A coated component comprising:
a ceramic substrate having a surface;
an intermediate layer directly on the surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein the intermediate layer comprises 50% to 99%, by weight of silicon carbide and a carbon-sink material dispersed within the silicon carbide, wherein the carbon-sink material inhibits accumulation of free carbon from a carbon-containing species within the intermediate layer, the ceramic substrate, or both; and
an environmental barrier coating on the intermediate layer.
