Li2ZnCl4 is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of lithium, zinc, and chloride ions, belonging to the family of halide ceramics and mixed-metal chlorides. This material is primarily of research interest as a solid-state electrolyte and ionic conductor for advanced battery systems, particularly in lithium-ion and solid-state battery development where high ionic conductivity at moderate temperatures is desired. Its notable advantage over conventional liquid electrolytes is improved thermal stability and safety, though it remains largely experimental; the material family shows promise for next-generation energy storage applications where conventional polymer or oxide electrolytes face performance limitations.
