Cd₃Se is a cadmium selenide ceramic compound belonging to the II-VI semiconductor family, engineered for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. It is primarily investigated for quantum dot synthesis, photocatalysis, and radiation detection due to its tunable bandgap and strong light-absorption properties. Engineers select this material when direct bandgap semiconductors with high quantum efficiency are needed, though regulatory restrictions on cadmium in some regions have limited mainstream adoption in favor of lead-free alternatives like CdZnSe or perovskite systems.
