Na2Cu is an intermetallic compound combining sodium and copper in a 2:1 ratio. This is an experimental/research material rather than a commercial engineering alloy; intermetallic compounds of this type are studied for their potential in lightweight structural applications and electronic materials. Na2Cu belongs to the broader family of sodium-copper intermetallics, which are of interest in battery technology, thermoelectric research, and advanced alloy development, though practical engineering deployment remains limited due to challenges with stability, reactivity, and processing.
