ZrNi5 is an intermetallic compound composed of zirconium and nickel, belonging to the class of transition metal intermetallics. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for hydrogen storage applications, leveraging the strong affinity of zirconium-nickel systems for hydrogen absorption and desorption cycles. Its notable advantage over conventional storage materials lies in its potential for reversible hydrogen uptake at moderate temperatures and pressures, making it a candidate for energy storage and fuel cell supporting technologies, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to established alternatives.
