Copper selenide is an inorganic binary compound consisting of copper and selenium. Its formula is sometimes described as CuSe or Cu2Se, but it is non-stoichiometric.[2] It is a semiconductor[2] and is frequently grown as nanoparticles or other nanostructures.[3][4][5]

Uses

Copper selenide is produced in-situ to form a protective black coating on iron or steel parts in some cold-bluing processes.[6] Bluing solutions that operate in this manner will typically be labeled as containing selenous acid or selenium dioxide.[7][8] It has also been investigated for use in the treatment of colon cancer.[4]
