Ce2ZnSb4

Ce2ZnSb4 is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining rare-earth cerium, zinc, and antimony elements, belonging to the family of ternary Heusler or half-Heusler phases. This material is primarily of research interest for potential thermoelectric and electronic applications, as compounds in this chemical family are investigated for their ability to convert thermal gradients into electrical current or vice versa. Ce2ZnSb4 and related cerium-based intermetallics are explored in fundamental materials science for low-temperature and moderate-temperature thermoelectric devices, though practical engineering adoption remains limited compared to established semiconductor and oxide thermoelectric systems.
