Copper(II) selenide is an inorganic binary compound between copper and selenium, with the chemical formula CuSe.

Contents

Uses

Copper(II) selenide is produced in situ to form a protective black coating on iron or steel parts in some cold-bluing processes. [1] Bluing solutions that operate in this manner will typically be labeled as containing selenous acid or selenium dioxide. [2] [3] It has also been investigated for use in the treatment of colon cancer. [4]

Natural occurrences

Copper selenides are the most common selenium minerals. CuSe is known in mineralogy as klockmannite. [5]
