Li3 Co1 N6 O12

Li₃CoN₆O₁₂ is an experimental mixed-metal oxynitride semiconductor compound combining lithium, cobalt, nitrogen, and oxygen in a complex crystal structure. This material belongs to the family of multinary nitride semiconductors, which are under investigation as potential alternatives to conventional oxides and nitrides for electronic and photocatalytic applications. The cobalt-containing oxynitride matrix with lithium incorporation is of research interest for energy storage, photocatalysis, and next-generation semiconductor device platforms where tunable bandgap and mixed-valence metal sites may offer advantages over single-phase materials.
