Li₆Th₃N₆ is an experimental ternary nitride ceramic compound combining lithium, thorium, and nitrogen—a material class under active research for advanced applications requiring high hardness and thermal stability. This compound remains primarily in the research phase rather than established commercial production; it represents exploration of thorium-based ceramics for potential use in extreme-environment applications where conventional semiconductors and refractories are insufficient.
