Zr₂Ni is an intermetallic compound belonging to the zirconium-nickel system, forming a crystalline metallic phase with intermediate composition between zirconium and nickel. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, valued in hydrogen storage applications, advanced alloys, and high-temperature structural systems where the combination of zirconium's corrosion resistance and nickel's strength can be leveraged. Zr₂Ni and related zirconium intermetallics are studied for energy storage, nuclear reactor components, and as precursor phases in development of zirconium-based bulk metallic glasses and hydrogen-absorbing materials.
