Zr0.95Nb0.05NiSn
metal· Zr0.95Nb0.05NiSn
Zr0.95Nb0.05NiSn is a half-Heusler intermetallic compound combining zirconium, niobium, nickel, and tin—a research-phase material developed primarily for thermoelectric applications where electrical conductivity and thermal management must be carefully balanced. This material family is not yet in widespread industrial production but is investigated for solid-state power generation and waste heat recovery systems where conventional thermoelectric materials face temperature or cost limitations. The niobium doping of the zirconium-based structure is designed to optimize the carrier concentration and phonon scattering behavior for improved thermoelectric figure of merit.

Export Control
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
