Tin Selenide Powder Description
Tin Selenide Powder, or SnSe Powder, is a gray orthorhombic crystal with semiconductor properties. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in nitric acid and aqua regia. Tin selenide exhibits low thermal conductivity as well as reasonable electrical conductivity, creating the possibility of it being used in thermoelectric materials. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) has over two decades’ experience in the manufacture and sale of Tin Selenide Powder.

Tin Selenide Powder Applications
Tin Selenide Powder has the following applications:
- Used in energy harvesting because of the ability to convert waste heat into electrical energy.
- Tin selenides may be used for optoelectronic devices, solar cells, memory switching devices, and anodes for lithium-ion batteries
- Tin(II) selenide has an additional use as a solid-state lubricant, due to the nature of its interlayer bonding.
