Mg3Ni is an intermetallic compound composed of magnesium and nickel, belonging to the family of magnesium-based metallic materials. This material is primarily of research and development interest for hydrogen storage applications, where it functions as a metal hydride capable of absorbing and releasing hydrogen, making it relevant for energy storage and fuel cell systems. Compared to bulk magnesium alloys, Mg3Ni and related ternary hydrides offer improved hydrogen capacity and kinetics, though engineering adoption remains limited to specialized research environments and prototype energy systems where thermal management and cycling stability can be controlled.
