NaSb is an intermetallic semiconductor compound composed of sodium and antimony, representing a member of the alkali-pnicogen material family. While primarily of research interest rather than established commercial use, NaSb and related compounds are investigated for potential applications in thermoelectric devices, optoelectronic components, and energy conversion systems where the coupling of electronic and thermal properties is advantageous. The material's semiconducting behavior and moderate mechanical stiffness make it a candidate for exploring novel device architectures in solid-state physics and materials science research.
