Zr0.5Hf0.5NiSn
metal· Zr0.5Hf0.5NiSn
Zr0.5Hf0.5NiSn is a half-Heusler intermetallic compound combining zirconium, hafnium, nickel, and tin in equimolar proportions. This material is primarily of research interest for thermoelectric applications, where it is studied as a potential candidate for solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion and waste heat recovery systems. The compound belongs to the half-Heusler family, which offers tunable electronic and phononic properties; this particular composition leverages the high atomic mass and similar chemistry of Zr and Hf to scatter phonons and reduce thermal conductivity while maintaining reasonable electrical conductivity—a key trade-off for thermoelectric performance.
