Overview of Tellurium
Tellurium is a quasi-metal with the elemental symbol Te. Tellurium is not soluble in water. The molecular weight of tellurium is 127.6, tellurium melting point is 452℃, tellurium boiling point is 1390℃. The density of tellurium is 6.25 g/cm3. Tellurium is in the fifth period of the periodic table and has an atomic number of 52. Tellurium is a silvery-white solid, used as a semiconductor material, catalyst, etc.
Telluride is a compound of tellurium with metal or non-metal. For example, the representative of telluride with non-metal is hydrogen telluride, which is a colorless and odorous toxic gas; metal telluride has copper telluride, which is insoluble in water.
We have the telluride powders available, such as bismuth telluride, zinc telluride, tungsten telluride, molybdenum telluride, etc.

Applications of Telluride Powder
Telluride is widely used, and its downstream industries include solar energy, alloys, thermoelectric refrigeration, electronics, rubber and other industries. The application of tellurium in the metallurgical industry accounts for 42% of the total application. Due to the rapid development of tellurium in the photovoltaic field, the metallurgical industry 'S share is trending lower.
The chemical industry accounts for about 21% of total tellurium applications. In the chemical industry, tellurium and tellurium compounds are used as additives for catalysts and as dispersants in the rubber industry to improve the strength and elasticity of rubber.
Tellurium accounts for about 8% of the electrical and electronic industry. In the optoelectronics industry, semiconductor components such as ZnTe, CdTe, HgTe, HgCdTe, etc. are used in lasers, photodiodes, and light receivers that involve infrared to ultraviolet spectra.
