Zn₁Rh₃ is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining zinc and rhodium in a 1:3 stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material studied primarily for its potential in high-temperature structural and catalytic applications, leveraging rhodium's exceptional thermal stability and corrosion resistance combined with zinc's lighter density contribution. The intermetallic class offers potential advantages in wear resistance and thermal cycling performance, though industrial deployment remains limited and the material is primarily encountered in materials science and metallurgy research contexts.
