Tellur

About Tellur (Te)

Symbol: Te
Atomic number: 52
Atomic mass: 127.60
Element category: Metalloid
Tellur is a brittle, lustrous, silver‐white metalloid that is slightly toxic. It has two allotropes, crystalline and amorphous tellur. The crystalline tellur is silver‐white, while the amorphous tellur is a dark brown powder.
Tellur is a semiconductor and is frequently alloyed with aluminium, copper, lead or tin. When added to stainless steel and copper, it improves the machinability of these materials. Tellur can also be used in solar cells composed of cadmium telluride (CdTe).
Tellur forms numerous compounds; however, none of them are commercially significant.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) can now offer various tellur products, including:
