Zn₂SeS is a ternary II-VI compound semiconductor ceramic combining zinc with selenium and sulfur. This material belongs to the family of mixed-anion semiconductors and is primarily of research and development interest rather than established commercial production. The compound is investigated for optoelectronic and photonic applications where its tunable bandgap—intermediate between zinc selenide and zinc sulfide—offers potential advantages in UV-visible light emission, detection, and nonlinear optical devices, though widespread industrial adoption remains limited compared to binary ZnSe or ZnS.
