ZnNiSb is an intermetallic compound combining zinc, nickel, and antimony, belonging to the family of half-Heusler or related ternary metal systems. This material is primarily of research interest for thermoelectric applications, where it is investigated for its potential to convert thermal gradients into electrical power or enable refrigeration without moving parts. The compound's notable advantage lies in its relatively high thermal-to-electrical property contrast compared to traditional thermoelectric materials, making it attractive for waste heat recovery and solid-state cooling systems in automotive and industrial contexts.
