LiNpO₃ is a lithium neptunium oxide compound, a research-stage semiconductor material belonging to the family of actinide-bearing oxide ceramics. While not widely commercialized, this material is of interest in nuclear materials science and fundamental solid-state physics due to its incorporation of neptunium-237, an actinide element with unique electronic and magnetic properties. Potential applications remain largely experimental, focused on understanding actinide chemistry, radiation tolerance in ceramic matrices, and specialized nuclear fuel cycles where neptunium bearing phases may play a role.
