New Low Temperature Synthesis Method for High Quality Tellurium
Today, scientists from the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced a low-temperature synthesis method for producing high-quality tellurium. This new method could greatly reduce the cost of producing this essential material for a wide variety of technological applications. Tellurium is used in the production of solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and other semiconductor devices.
The new low-temperature synthesis method eliminates the need for expensive high-temperature processing steps and can be used to produce high-quality tellurium nanostructures. This new method is faster, more efficient, and more cost effective than traditional methods. It also has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of tellurium production, as the method does not require the use of hazardous chemicals. This could make the production of tellurium more sustainable and efficient.
