KNb2Se

KNb₂Se is an intermetallic compound combining potassium, niobium, and selenium—a material from the broader family of transition metal chalcogenides and Zintl phases that are primarily of research and exploratory interest rather than established commercial use. This compound belongs to a class of materials being investigated for potential applications in thermoelectric devices, energy conversion systems, and solid-state electronics due to the electronic properties characteristic of layered metal chalcogenides. As an experimental composition, KNb₂Se represents the type of ternary/quaternary phase that materials scientists develop when seeking novel combinations of thermal, electrical, or catalytic behavior not readily available in conventional alloys or ceramics.
