Sc(CuSe)₃ is a ternary semiconductor compound composed of scandium, copper, and selenium, belonging to the chalcogenide family of materials. This is primarily a research-phase compound studied for its potential in optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications, where the combination of heavy elements and mixed-valence copper offers tunable electronic properties that differ significantly from binary semiconductors. Engineers would consider this material for next-generation photovoltaic devices or thermoelectric generators where band gap engineering and charge carrier mobility optimization are critical, though commercialization pathways remain limited compared to established III-V or perovskite alternatives.
