metalliosalike
Metalliosalike is a coined term used in materials science and speculative writing to describe materials whose structure and properties lie between metals and salts. It envisions systems that combine a metallic sublattice capable of efficient electron transport with ionic components that can enable diffusion and redox activity characteristic of salts. Such materials are conceptualized as exhibiting mixed conduction, where electronic and ionic transport co-occur, sometimes with tunable conductivity, optical properties, and chemical reactivity.
In practice, metalliosalike materials are not a standardized category; the term appears mainly in informal discussions
Potential applications are speculative and include solid-state batteries or supercapacitors with mixed conduction, electro-catalysis, and corrosion-resistant
