About
Tellurium metal is a rare metalloid element with symbol Te and atomic number 52, characterized by its silvery-white appearance and semiconductor properties. Primarily sourced as a byproduct of copper refining and lead processing, tellurium is extracted from anode slimes during electrolytic copper production. Major applications include thermoelectric devices, solar panels (cadmium telluride thin films), metallurgical additives for steel and copper alloys, and infrared optical components. The element exhibits unique properties including high electrical conductivity when illuminated and excellent thermoelectric efficiency. Makers and manufacturers purchase tellurium for advanced electronics, renewable energy applications, and specialized alloy production. Its scarcity makes it valuable for high-tech applications where its semiconductor and optical properties are essential. Available in various purities from 99.9% to 99.99%, tellurium metal serves critical roles in emerging technologies including flexible electronics and quantum dot applications.
