MgNi5 is an intermetallic compound composed of magnesium and nickel, belonging to the metal hydride family. It is primarily investigated for hydrogen storage applications due to its ability to reversibly absorb and release hydrogen, making it of significant interest in clean energy and fuel cell technology research. The material is notable for its potential to enable practical hydrogen storage systems, though it remains largely in the development phase rather than widespread industrial production.
