Tellurium Ingot

Product Overview

Tellurium ingots are block-shaped materials made from high-purity tellurium (Te), possessing a metallic luster and a silver-white appearance. One of the allotropic forms of tellurium is in crystalline form, offering excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. These ingots are widely used in semiconductor, optoelectronics, and materials science fields. They also exhibit good reactivity and stability in various chemical environments, with a relatively low melting point.
