LiPbB9O15 is a lithium-lead borate ceramic compound that belongs to the family of heavy metal borate glasses and ceramics. This is a research-phase material primarily of interest in radiation shielding and optical applications where the combination of high atomic number elements (lead) and boron's neutron absorption properties offer potential advantages. The material remains largely experimental; its development is driven by specialized applications requiring dense ceramics with coupled radiation attenuation and optical transparency or controlled optical properties.
