Li2TiO3 is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of lithium, titanium, and oxygen, belonging to the class of lithium titanate ceramics. It is primarily investigated for nuclear fusion reactor applications as a solid breeder material for tritium production in breeding blankets, and has secondary research interest in solid-state battery electrolytes and thermal energy storage systems. Engineers select this material because of its chemical stability at high temperatures, compatibility with molten salt coolants, and ability to generate tritium fuel in-situ during neutron irradiation—making it essential for next-generation fusion energy systems where traditional fuel cycles are impractical.
