Rh₂Se₂ is a binary semiconductor compound combining rhodium and selenium, belonging to the rare metal chalcogenide family. This material is primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications, where its unique electronic structure and potential for tunable band gap make it relevant for next-generation energy conversion and light-emitting devices. While not yet widely deployed in mainstream engineering, compounds in this family are being investigated as alternatives to conventional semiconductors in specialized applications requiring high thermal or electrical efficiency.
