This study reports on the crystal growth, luminescence, and scintillation performance of a novel elpasolite K${}_2$LiCeCl${}_6$ scintillator. The single crystal of this material was grown by the two-zone vertical Bridgman technique. The luminescence and scintillation performance were studied under X-, $\gamma$-rays, and $\alpha$-particles excitation at room temperature. The fast scintillation response and $\alpha$-particles and $\gamma$-ray separation capability reveal that this scintillator can be used as a dual-mode $\gamma$-rays and thermal neutron detector.
