Chemical compound
Copper(I) selenide is an inorganic binary compound between copper and selenium , with the chemical formula Cu2 Se.[ 2]
Properties
Stoichiometric copper selenide is a zero-bandgap material with metal-like behavior.[ 3] Copper-deficient Cu2−x Se (non-stoichiometric ) is an intrinsic p-type semiconductor with direct and indirect bandgap energies in the range of 2.1–2.3 eV and 1.2–1.4 eV respectively.[ 4] It is frequently grown as nanoparticles or other nanostructures .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
Uses
Copper(I) selenide is produced in situ to form a protective black coating on iron or steel parts in some cold-bluing processes.[ 8] Bluing solutions that operate in this manner will typically be labeled as containing selenous acid or selenium dioxide .[ 9] [ 10] It has also been investigated for use in the treatment of colon cancer.[ 6]
Natural occurrences
Copper selenides are the most common selenium minerals. Cu2 Se occurs as two polymorphs: berzelianite [ 11] (isometric, more common) and bellidoite (tetragonal). There are more natural Cu selenides to date, including umangite , Cu3 Se2 and athabascaite , Cu5 Se4 .[ 12]
