CaNi5
metal· CaNi5
CaNi5 is an intermetallic compound in the calcium-nickel system, notable primarily as a hydrogen storage material and research subject in metallurgy and energy applications. It belongs to the family of metal hydrides used in hydrogen absorption and desorption cycles, making it relevant to clean energy storage and thermal management systems where reversible hydrogen uptake is required. This material is of particular interest in hydrogen economy applications and advanced battery technologies, though it remains largely a research-phase material rather than a mainstream industrial workhorse.
