Description

Mercury(II) selenide is used in semiconductors, infrared detectors, solar cells, transistors and amplifiers. It is also used as filters in some steel plants in order to remove mercury from exhaust gases. Further, it is used as an ohmic contact to wide-gap II-VI semiconductors such as zinc selenide or zinc oxide.

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.
