· JVASP-62691· LiB

Lithium borate (LiB) is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of lithium and boron oxides, belonging to the borate ceramic family. It is primarily used in specialized optical, thermal, and structural applications where its low density and moderate elastic properties offer advantages in lightweight composite systems and high-temperature environments. The material is notable in research contexts for potential use in solid-state battery electrolytes, neutron shielding, and glass-ceramic matrices, where its lithium content and boron chemistry provide functional benefits beyond traditional load-bearing ceramics.
