'Lithium aluminate' (LiAlO₂), also called 'lithium aluminium oxide', is an inorganic chemical compound, an aluminate of lithium.
In microelectronics, lithium aluminate is considered as a lattice matching substrate for gallium nitride.
In nuclear technology, lithium, aluminate is of interest as a solid tritium breeder material, for preparing tritium fuel for nuclear fusion.
Lithium aluminate also finds its use as an inert electrolyte support material in molten carbonate fuel cells, where the electrolyte may be a mixture of lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and sodium carbonate.[1]
