CaNi2
metal· JVASP-20754· CaNi2
CaNi₂ is an intermetallic compound in the calcium-nickel system, representing a hard, brittle metal-metal combination rather than a conventional alloy. This material is primarily of research and industrial interest for hydrogen storage applications, where nickel-based intermetallics can absorb and release hydrogen, and for metallurgical studies of phase formation in alkaline-earth and transition metal systems. Its utility is limited compared to more established structural or functional metals, but the calcium-nickel family remains relevant in emerging hydrogen economy technologies and as a model system for understanding intermetallic behavior.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
