LaNi3
metal· JVASP-126306· LaNi3
LaNi3 is an intermetallic compound composed of lanthanum and nickel, belonging to the rare-earth metal family. It is widely recognized as a hydrogen storage material and is the active constituent in nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery electrodes, where it reversibly absorbs and releases hydrogen to enable charge cycling. Its exceptional hydrogen absorption capacity and electrochemical stability make it a preferred choice over simpler nickel alloys in portable power applications, though it is also explored in hydrogen energy storage and catalytic applications.

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.
