Copper Selenide

Copper selenide is utilized as a p-type semiconductor material in thin-film solar cells and thermoelectric devices due to its unique electronic transport properties.

Copper selenide targets are used in magnetron sputtering processes to deposit thin films for photovoltaic applications, specifically in the fabrication of CIGS solar cells.

Synthesis of copper selenide nanocrystals and quantum dots is researched for applications in photothermal therapy and advanced optoelectronic sensors.

Used in the development of optical filters and high-speed detectors that leverage its narrow bandgap and high absorption coefficients.
