· Zn0.5Cd0.5Se

Zn₀.₅Cd₀.₅Se is a zinc-cadmium selenide alloy semiconductor belonging to the II-VI compound semiconductor family, engineered by combining binary ZnSe and CdSe to tune bandgap energy and lattice properties between those of its constituents. This material is primarily explored in research and specialized optoelectronic applications where bandgap engineering is critical, including blue-green light-emitting devices, photodetectors, and high-efficiency photovoltaic absorber layers; the 50/50 composition offers a strategic middle ground between the wide bandgap of ZnSe and the narrower bandgap of CdSe, enabling wavelength tuning unavailable in single-phase materials.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
