Lead Selenide Powder from Japan
Lead selenide is an infrared-sensitive semiconductor material used in photodetectors and thermal imaging sensors. Under HTS 2842.90.90.10, it qualifies as a chemically defined selenide salt per Chapter 28 definitions. Its narrow bandgap makes it ideal for mid-wave IR detection.
