Indium (III) selenide is a combination of indium and selenium . Due to its photovoltaic properties, the compound is the subject of intensive research.

Extraction and presentation

Indium (III) selenide can be obtained by reacting indium with selenium.

properties

Indium (III) selenide is a black, fairly soft solid that is easily soluble in strong acids . In total, five different forms of indium (III) selenide are known, which are referred to as α-, β-, γ-, δ-, κ-. The two most widespread forms α- and β- have a wurtzite structure with vacancies in the cation lattice. The band gap of γ-In 2 Se 3 is approximately 1.9  eV .
