Barium selenide is an inorganic compound, with the chemical formula of BaSe. It is a white solid although typically samples are colored owing to the effects of air oxidation.^[3]

BaSe has the lowest energy band gap among alkaline earth chalcogenides.^[4]

Preparation

Barium selenide can be obtained by the reduction of barium selenate in hydrogen flow:.^[3]^[5]

BaSeO₄ + H₂ → BaSe + 4 H₂O

It can also be obtained by reacting selenium with barium carbonate or barium oxide at high temperature:^{[citation needed]}

2 BaCO₃ + 5 Se → 2 BaSe + 3 SeO₂ + CO₂

Related compounds

Barium can also forms a series of polyselenide compounds, such as Ba₂Se₃, BaSe₂ and BaSe₃.^[1]
