Characteristic:It has a silver-white metallic appearance, a density of 6.25 g / cm3, a melting point of 452 ° C, a boiling point of 1390 ° C, and a hardness of 2.5 (Mohs hardness). There are two allotropic forms, crystalline and amorphous. Tellurium burns in the air with a blue flame and generates tellurium dioxide; it can react with halogens but not with sulfur and selenium. Soluble in sulfuric acid, nitric acid, potassium hydroxide and potassium cyanide solution. Poor heat transfer and electrical conductivity. Tellurium with a purity of more than 99.99% is called high-purity tellurium. |
Application:It is used to prepare II-VI compound semiconductors, solar cells, thermoelectric conversion elements, refrigeration elements, light-emitting diodes, nuclear radiation detection, infrared detectors and other basic materials. |
