What is it about?
In this work we explore the phase mixtures that can be obtained in the system of lithium ceramics involving lithium metatitanate and lithium orthosilicate. The phases obtained are relevant for fusion applications in breeding tritium, part of the ITER helium cooled pebble blanket concept.

Why is it important?
Understanding these ceramics and their synthesis is an important step towards the design of effective materials for breeding tritium fuel in future energy concepts. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnucmat.2014.09.028
Perspectives
The future of fusion energy systems depends on developments in materials science.
