NiHg is an intermetallic compound formed between nickel and mercury, belonging to the family of mercury-based metallic systems. This material is primarily of academic and research interest rather than widespread industrial use, as it exhibits the characteristic brittleness and phase stability challenges common to intermetallic compounds. NiHg and related mercury alloys have been investigated in specialized electrochemical applications, historical dental/medical contexts, and materials research exploring novel metallic systems, though modern applications are limited due to mercury's toxicity concerns and environmental restrictions in most industrial regions.
