Cadmium selenide

Description:
Cadmium selenide (CdSe) is a binary compound composed of cadmium and selenium, classified as a semiconductor material. It appears as a yellow to red powder and is known for its high photoconductivity and luminescent properties, making it valuable in various applications, including photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and as a pigment in plastics and glass. CdSe has a zinc blende crystal structure and exhibits a direct bandgap, which allows it to efficiently absorb and emit light. The substance is insoluble in water but can dissolve in strong acids. While CdSe is utilized in many technological applications, it is important to note that cadmium is a toxic heavy metal, raising environmental and health concerns regarding its use and disposal. Proper safety measures and regulations are essential when handling cadmium selenide to mitigate potential risks associated with exposure. Overall, CdSe is a significant material in the field of nanotechnology and optoelectronics, contributing to advancements in various electronic and photonic devices.
