Hg₃Sb is an intermetallic compound composed of mercury and antimony, classified as a ceramic material in the mercury-based intermetallic family. This compound is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity material, with applications in thermoelectric devices, semiconductor research, and specialty electronic components where its unique electronic and thermal properties can be exploited. Its relatively high density and mercury content make it notable for niche applications requiring specific electrical conductivity or thermal transport characteristics, though handling and environmental considerations associated with mercury limit its widespread adoption compared to lead-free or mercury-free alternatives.
