Lead(II) selenide

Lead selenide is a semiconductor material that can be used in the manufacture of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes. It is also used to make other devices such as solar cells, gas sensors, and photoconductors. Lead selenide is a stable complex that can be synthesized from an acid solution of lead chloride and ethylene diamine. The optical sensor of the reaction solution has a detection sensitivity that varies with the presence of light, which allows for the determination of lead selenide concentrations. This compound is also susceptible to thermal expansion, which makes it important to control its environmental temperature during processing. Lead selenide is typically synthesized using methods such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy or plasma mass spectrometry.
