Lithium tetraborate (LiTeO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining lithium oxide with tellurium oxide, belonging to the family of borate and tellurite ceramics. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, valued for its optical and electrical properties in applications requiring non-linear optical response, radiation detection, or high-temperature stability. Engineers consider LiTeO₃ when conventional glasses or standard ceramics cannot meet stringent requirements for photonic devices, scintillators, or environments demanding tellurite-based performance characteristics.
