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