CAS 1315-05-5: Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3)

It is used to prepare large zintl ion, it is now actively explored for thin film solar cells. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Antimony(III) selenide is a semiconductor material that can be used as a photocurrent and luminescent material. It has been shown to have anti-cancer properties, which may be due to its ability to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) with high specificity for cancer cells. Antimony(III) selenide has also been shown to have optical properties that can be tuned by the introduction of chloride ions. This material also exhibits ligand-based photocatalytic activity and can be used in nanosheets for applications such as treatments for cancer cells, hyperthermia, or chalcogenide based devices.
