Description

General description

Tellurium is anon-radioactive and heaviest member of the chalcogen family. It has a widerange of oxidation states, from -2 to +6. It is widely used in the fields ofmetallurgy and electronics.

Application

Tellurium can be used as a precursor to prepare:

• Tellurium-based nanomaterials for semiconductor application, such as CdTe nanoparticles via solvothermal synthesis.
• Quantum dot solutions for fluorometric determination of bioactive compounds.
• Thermoelectricmaterials, such as Cu₄Mn₂Te₄ by the melting-quenching-SPS method.

Tellurium, in combination with potassium hydroxide, mediates the quantitative pinacolization of aromatic carbonyl compounds.
