'''Silver selenide''' (Ag<sub>2</sub>Se) is a clear, ] compound. It is the reaction product formed when selenium toning analog silver gelatine photo papers in ]. The selenium toner contains ] (Na<sub>2</sub>SeO<sub>3</sub>) as one of its active ingredients, which is the source of the selenide (Se<sup>2-</sup>) anion combining with the ] in the toning process.
Silver selenide has two crystal phases on the bulk phase diagram. At lower temperatures, it has an ] structure, β-Ag<sub>2</sub>Se. This orthorhombic phase, stable at room temperature, is a ], with space group P2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>. The exact size of the band gap has been given variously from 0.02 eV to 0.22 eV.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Physical Review B|volume=54|issue=1|pages=190–202|year=1996|author1=Kirchhoff F. |author2=Holender J.M. |author3=Gillan M.J. |doi=10.1103/PhysRevB.54.190|title=Structure, dynamics, and electronic structure of liquid Ag-Se alloys investigated by ab initio simulation|pmid=9984246|arxiv=mtrl-th/9602001|bibcode=1996PhRvB..54..190K|s2cid=9316728}}</ref>
