· LuNi5

LuNi5 is an intermetallic compound composed of lutetium and nickel, belonging to the rare-earth metal family of functional materials. This compound is primarily investigated for hydrogen storage and energy applications, where it demonstrates the ability to absorb and release hydrogen through reversible metal-hydride reactions. LuNi5 is notable in the hydrogen storage research community as a candidate material for clean energy systems, though it remains largely in the research and development phase rather than mature commercial production.

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.
