Mg₁Ni₁H₃ is a metal hydride compound combining magnesium and nickel with hydrogen, belonging to the family of intermetallic hydrides studied for energy storage and hydrogen handling applications. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for hydrogen storage systems and as a potential thermal energy storage medium, where its ability to reversibly absorb and release hydrogen makes it valuable for developing next-generation clean energy infrastructure. Its appeal lies in the combination of lightweight magnesium with nickel's catalytic properties, offering potential advantages over single-element hydrides in terms of hydrogen capacity and reaction kinetics.
