Zn₀.₇₅Cd₀.₂₅Se is a wide-bandgap II-VI semiconductor alloy composed of zinc, cadmium, and selenium, representing a ternary compound within the cadmium selenide family. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, where the bandgap energy can be tuned by varying the Zn/Cd ratio to target specific wavelengths in the visible to near-infrared range. The Zn-rich composition offers improved thermal stability and reduced toxicity compared to pure CdSe, making it of interest for next-generation light-emitting devices, photodetectors, and thin-film solar cells, though it remains largely in the development stage for commercial deployment.
