Li3 Sm1

Li₃Sm₁ is an intermetallic compound composed of lithium and samarium, belonging to the rare-earth lithium family of materials. This is primarily a research-phase material being investigated for energy storage and advanced electronic applications, rather than an established industrial material. The compound is of interest in the materials science community for potential use in solid-state battery systems, where lithium-bearing intermetallics are explored as alternatives to conventional electrolytes or anode materials, and in specialty semiconductor or photonic applications leveraging rare-earth properties.
