LaNiSb is an intermetallic compound composed of lanthanum, nickel, and antimony that belongs to the half-Heusler alloy family. This material is primarily investigated in thermoelectric and energy conversion research due to its potential for efficient heat-to-electricity conversion at moderate to high temperatures. While still largely in the research phase, LaNiSb and related half-Heusler compounds are being developed as alternatives to traditional thermoelectric materials for waste heat recovery systems, with notable advantages in thermal stability and abundance compared to lead-telluride or bismuth-telluride based systems.
