Zn₄CoSe₅ is a quaternary metal selenide compound combining zinc, cobalt, and selenium, belonging to the family of transition metal chalcogenides. This is a research-phase material studied primarily for its electronic and photovoltaic properties rather than structural applications. Interest in this compound centers on potential thermoelectric conversion, photocatalysis, and optoelectronic device applications, where the cobalt-selenium bonding and zinc doping are engineered to tune bandgap and charge carrier behavior.
