Co₂CoSb is an intermetallic compound belonging to the half-Heusler alloy family, composed of cobalt and antimony in a specific stoichiometric ratio. This material is primarily investigated in thermoelectric research for its potential to convert thermal gradients directly into electrical power, with particular interest in mid-temperature applications where its electronic and phonon transport properties could offer advantages over conventional thermoelectrics. The half-Heusler class is notable for combining tunable band structures with relatively high melting points, making cobalt-antimony variants candidates for waste heat recovery systems, though most applications remain in the research and development phase rather than established industrial production.
