Rh2CoSb is an intermetallic compound belonging to the half-Heusler alloy family, combining rhodium, cobalt, and antimony in a defined stoichiometric ratio. This material is primarily of research interest for thermoelectric applications, where it is investigated for its potential to convert thermal gradients into electrical current efficiently at moderate to high temperatures. Half-Heusler compounds like Rh2CoSb are notable for their tunable electronic and phononic properties, making them candidates for waste heat recovery and solid-state cooling systems where conventional materials fall short.
