· JVASP-137626· LaNi5Sn

LaNi₅Sn is an intermetallic compound belonging to the lanthanum-nickel family, with tin as a substitutional alloying element. This material is primarily investigated for hydrogen storage and energy conversion applications, where the lanthanum-nickel base structure is known for its ability to absorb and release hydrogen reversibly. It represents an active research material rather than a commodity alloy, with potential use in hydrogen fuel cells, thermal energy storage systems, and advanced battery technologies where reversible metal-hydrogen interactions are exploited.

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.
