| | CADMIUM SELENIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | 3–12mm pieces (sintered), and -325 mesh 10μm or less with 99.999% purity; white to brown; cub or hexagonal crystal(s); hex: a=0.4309nm, c=0.7021 nm, enthalpy of fusion 305.307 kJ/mol; becomes red in sunlight; used as a red pigment, in semiconductors, and as an evaporation material and sputtering target to produce photoconductive films and infrared filters; possible use in the electrofabrication of microdiode arrays [HAW93] [MER06] [CER91] [KLE93] [KRE91] | | Uses | Cadmium selenide is used as a n-type semiconductor and its nanoparticles are used in laser diodes, opto-electronic devices, nanosensing, biomedical imaging and high efficiency solar cells. Since, it is transparent to infrared light, it finds application in photoresistors and windows for instruments utilizing IR light. | | Uses | Dispersions with CdS (Aldrich products 208183, 217921) deposited on glass or Si substrates results in tunable red, yellow, or green fluorescent material. | | Uses | In photoconductors, semiconductors, photoelectric cells, and rectifiers; in phosphors. | | Definition | ChEBI: Cadmium selenide is a cadmium molecular entity. | | General Description | CdSe crystal can exist in solid hexagonal or cubic structure. CdSe behaves as an n-type semiconductor, with a bandgap of 1.74 eV (300K).1 | | Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified |
