Cu3Se is an intermetallic compound composed of copper and selenium, belonging to the family of metal chalcogenides. It is primarily of research interest for semiconductor and thermoelectric applications, where copper selenides are investigated for their potential in energy conversion and electronic device architectures. While not yet widely established in mainstream industrial production, Cu3Se and related copper selenide phases are studied as candidates for photovoltaic absorbers, thermoelectric generators, and advanced electronic materials due to their tunable electronic properties and earth-abundant constituent elements.
