Abstract
ZrB<sub>12</sub> , with a high symmetrical cubic structure, possesses both high hardness ≈27.0 GPa and ultralow electrical resistivity ≈18 µΩ cm at room temperature. Both the superior conductivity and hardness of ZrB<sub>12</sub> are associated with the extended BB 3D covalent bonding network as it is not only favorable for achieving high hardness, but also provides conducting channels for transporting electrons.
