CAS 1327-50-0: antimony(iii) telluride

Antimony telluride is a crystalline semiconductor material with optical properties that can be controlled by the addition of potassium ion. It is synthesized by a process involving deionized water and antimony oxide. Antimony telluride has been shown to have an efficient method for transporting electrical current, which could be due to its polymeric matrix. This compound has been found to have a high thermal conductivity and low resistivity, as well as exhibiting a morphology that can be controlled by changing the synthesis conditions. Antimony telluride has shown the ability to act as an efficient thermoelectric material when in contact with potassium ions, making it a promising candidate for thermoelectric devices.

Antimony(III) telluride is used as both n-type and p-type semiconductors in association with appropriate dopant. It reacts with germanium telluride and forms the pseudobinary intermetallic system. It is used in solid state refrigerators due to its large thermoelectric effect. Further, it is an active component of thermoelectric materials.
