Cd3Te3 (cadmium telluride compound) is a II-VI semiconductor material composed of cadmium and tellurium elements, primarily studied in research and emerging photovoltaic applications. It is used in thin-film solar cells and radiation detection devices, where its direct bandgap and high absorption coefficient make it attractive for converting light to electricity or detecting high-energy particles. While CdTe solar cells are commercially established, Cd3Te3 represents a specific crystalline phase or stoichiometry of interest in materials research for optimizing optoelectronic performance and stability.
