Cd₃Sb₂ is a cadmium antimonide semiconductor compound belonging to the III-V semiconductor family, formed by cadmium and antimony elements. It is primarily of research and developmental interest for infrared optoelectronic applications, including infrared detectors and thermal imaging systems, where its narrow bandgap makes it suitable for sensing in the infrared spectrum. While less commercially established than competing IR semiconductors like HgCdTe or InSb, Cd₃Sb₂ represents an alternative material system worth evaluating for specialized thermal sensing applications where its specific electronic properties offer advantages in certain temperature ranges or cost-performance scenarios.
