CdSe3 is a cadmium selenide ceramic compound belonging to the II-VI semiconductor ceramic family, characterized by its layered crystal structure and moderate mechanical stiffness. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, where its semiconductor properties enable light absorption and charge carrier generation; it represents an important member of cadmium chalcogenide ceramics studied for thin-film solar cells and photodetectors, though toxicity concerns from cadmium content limit its commercial deployment compared to cadmium telluride or lead-free alternatives in modern photovoltaic systems.
