BiSb is a bismuth-antimony intermetallic compound, a brittle ceramic material formed from two semimetallic elements. This material is primarily investigated for thermoelectric applications where the combination of bismuth and antimony offers potential for efficient thermal-to-electrical energy conversion, particularly in moderate-temperature regimes. BiSb is notable as a research material in the thermoelectric field for its potential advantages in cost and processability compared to lead telluride and skutterudite alternatives, though it remains less developed than established thermoelectric compounds in commercial deployment.
