ZnSn₂ is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining zinc and tin in a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of binary metal stannides and is primarily of research interest for semiconductor and thermoelectric applications due to its potential for band-gap engineering and electronic transport properties. While not yet widely commercialized, ZnSn₂ is investigated in materials science for next-generation energy conversion devices and as a candidate phase in tin-based compound systems relevant to photovoltaics and solid-state electronics.
