Co₂Sb₂ is an intermetallic semiconductor compound combining cobalt and antimony, belonging to the family of binary metal antimonides. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest for thermoelectric applications, where its electronic and thermal properties are being investigated for potential use in power generation and heat recovery systems at moderate temperatures. Co₂Sb₂ represents an alternative to more established thermoelectric materials, offering potential advantages in cost or performance in specific operating windows, though commercial adoption remains limited compared to conventional thermoelectric alloys.
