Li2C is a ceramic compound composed of lithium and carbon, representing a lightweight intermetallic ceramic material. While not widely commercialized, this compound belongs to the family of lithium-based ceramics being explored for advanced energy storage, structural, and thermal management applications where low density combined with ceramic rigidity offers potential advantages. Li2C remains primarily a research material, with interest driven by its unusually low density and potential as a component in composite systems or high-energy-density applications.
