Mg1 Ni4 Nd1

Mg₁Ni₄Nd₁ is an intermetallic compound combining magnesium, nickel, and neodymium—a rare-earth ternary alloy system that bridges light-metal and transition-metal chemistry. This material is primarily explored in research contexts for hydrogen storage and energy applications, leveraging the hydrogen absorption capacity of Mg-Ni systems enhanced by rare-earth dopants like neodymium, which can modify lattice parameters and thermodynamic properties. Engineers and researchers consider such Mg-Ni-RE (rare-earth) compounds as candidates for solid-state hydrogen storage media and advanced battery chemistries where weight savings and high volumetric capacity are critical.
