LaNi4B
metal· JVASP-86465· LaNi4B
LaNi₄B is an intermetallic compound composed of lanthanum, nickel, and boron, belonging to the rare-earth nickel boride family of materials. This material is primarily of research and development interest for hydrogen storage and energy applications, where rare-earth nickel intermetallics are studied for their ability to absorb and release hydrogen under moderate conditions. Engineers consider LaNi₄B and related compounds as potential candidates for advanced energy storage systems, though it remains largely in the experimental phase compared to more established alternatives like LaNi₅ and other hydrogen-absorbing intermetallics.

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.
