Cd₄Sb₃ is an intermetallic compound belonging to the cadmium-antimony system, studied primarily as a thermoelectric material in research contexts. This material is investigated for mid-to-high temperature thermoelectric applications where conversion between thermal and electrical energy is required, offering potential advantages in waste heat recovery and solid-state cooling systems compared to conventional thermoelectrics. Cd₄Sb₃ remains largely a laboratory compound rather than a commercial standard, with ongoing research focused on understanding its crystal structure, electronic transport properties, and optimization for practical thermoelectric device implementation.
