· Li4 Mg4 P4 O16

Li₄Mg₄P₄O₁₆ is a mixed lithium-magnesium phosphate ceramic compound that belongs to the family of polyphosphate ceramics. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest for solid-state energy storage applications, particularly as a potential solid electrolyte or electrolyte component in all-solid-state lithium batteries, where the combination of lithium and magnesium cations offers opportunities for tailored ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. While not yet widely commercialized, phosphate-based ceramics in this composition family are being investigated to overcome limitations of conventional liquid electrolytes, such as improved safety, higher energy density, and better thermal stability in high-performance battery systems.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
