Mg₃NiC is an intermetallic compound combining magnesium, nickel, and carbon, belonging to the family of ternary metal carbides and intermetallics. This is primarily a research material studied for hydrogen storage, energy conversion, and advanced functional applications rather than a widespread commercial material. The compound is notable in materials research for its potential role in lightweight structural composites and solid-state hydrogen storage systems, where the combination of light magnesium with catalytically active nickel offers advantages over single-phase alternatives.
