Ce₁Ni₅ is an intermetallic compound combining cerium (a rare-earth element) with nickel in a 1:5 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the rare-earth nickel intermetallic family and is primarily investigated in research contexts for its potential in hydrogen storage, catalysis, and advanced functional applications. Its notable features stem from cerium's catalytic properties and the intermetallic structure's ability to absorb and release hydrogen reversibly, making it of interest as an alternative to conventional storage media and as a catalyst support in chemical processing.
