LaNi is an intermetallic compound composed of lanthanum and nickel, belonging to the rare-earth metal alloy family. It is primarily investigated and used in hydrogen storage applications, where it functions as a reversible hydrogen absorber material, making it valuable for energy storage systems and fuel cell technologies. LaNi-based alloys are notable for their high hydrogen storage capacity and relatively fast kinetics compared to other metal hydride systems, though they remain largely in research and specialized industrial applications rather than mainstream production.
