· Li6 B2 N4

Li₆B₂N₄ is a ternary ceramic semiconductor combining lithium, boron, and nitrogen—a compound within the wide-bandgap semiconductor family that includes nitrides and boron-based ceramics. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established in high-volume production, with potential applications in high-temperature electronics, neutron shielding, and advanced ceramic composites due to its lightweight composition and ceramic stability. Engineers investigating next-generation wide-bandgap semiconductors or neutron-absorbing structural materials would consider this compound for specialized applications where lithium's properties and boron nitride's thermal stability offer advantages over conventional alternatives.

Export Control

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.
