Cu3YSe3 is a ternary semiconductor compound combining copper, yttrium, and selenium in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of multinary chalcogenide semiconductors, which are primarily of research and development interest rather than established industrial production. Cu3YSe3 and related yttrium-copper selenides are investigated for potential applications in thermoelectric energy conversion, photovoltaic devices, and solid-state optoelectronics, where the combination of mixed metal cations can produce favorable bandgap engineering and charge-carrier properties compared to binary semiconductors.
