Na₃In is an intermetallic ceramic compound composed of sodium and indium, belonging to the class of ionic intermetallics with potential applications in energy storage and solid-state systems. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established commercial use, studied for its electrochemical properties and structural characteristics in the context of advanced battery materials and ionic conductors. Its notable feature is the combination of a lightweight alkali metal (sodium) with indium, making it relevant to next-generation battery chemistries where sodium-based systems offer cost and abundance advantages over lithium alternatives.
