Li5B4 is an experimental lithium boride compound belonging to the family of lightweight ceramic materials with potential electrochemical and thermal applications. This research-phase material is being investigated primarily in energy storage and advanced ceramics contexts, where its lithium content and boride structure offer potential advantages in solid-state battery systems, thermal management, and neutron absorption applications. Li5B4 represents an emerging material class rather than an established commercial product, with engineering interest driven by the growing demand for lithium-based functional ceramics in next-generation power systems and radiation shielding.
