CdFe2As is an intermetallic compound combining cadmium, iron, and arsenic in a defined stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the class of iron-based intermetallics and remains primarily a research compound rather than an established industrial material. Interest in this compound stems from potential applications in superconductivity research and magnetic materials development, where the iron-arsenic family has shown promise; however, CdFe2As itself is not widely adopted in commercial engineering due to toxicity concerns associated with cadmium and arsenic, limited thermal stability data, and the availability of more stable alternatives in competing material systems.
