Mg1Ni4Y1 is an intermetallic compound belonging to the magnesium-nickel-rare earth family, combining lightweight magnesium with nickel and yttrium to form a structured metallic phase. This material is primarily of research interest for hydrogen storage applications and advanced structural materials, where the yttrium addition aims to improve thermal stability and hydrogen absorption capacity compared to conventional Mg-Ni systems. The compound represents an emerging class of materials being investigated for next-generation energy storage and high-temperature aerospace applications, though industrial adoption remains limited.
