Na₆Ni₂O₄ is a mixed-valence nickel oxide compound belonging to the class of layered metal oxides with sodium as a structural component. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for energy storage and electrochemical applications, where the combination of nickel redox activity and sodium-ion conductivity offers potential advantages over conventional cathode materials. Its layered structure and mixed oxidation states make it a candidate for sodium-ion battery cathodes and related electrochemical devices, though it remains largely in the experimental phase compared to more established commercial alternatives.
