· JVASP-86382· LaNi2

LaNi₂ is an intermetallic compound composed of lanthanum and nickel, belonging to the family of rare-earth metal alloys. It is primarily researched and developed for hydrogen storage applications due to its ability to reversibly absorb and release hydrogen, making it a candidate material for energy storage and fuel cell systems. LaNi₂-based compounds are notable for their relatively high hydrogen storage capacity at moderate pressures and temperatures compared to conventional steel pressure vessels, though commercial deployment remains limited and ongoing research focuses on improving cycle life and reducing costs.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
