Mg₂Se₂ is a binary magnesium selenide compound belonging to the II-VI semiconductor family, characterized by ionic bonding between a group II metal and group VI chalcogen. This material remains primarily in the research and development phase, with potential applications in optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices where wide bandgap semiconductors are needed; the magnesium selenide material family is explored as an alternative to more established II-VI compounds for tunable electronic and optical properties, though commercial adoption remains limited compared to mainstream semiconductors like GaAs or CdTe.
