Application
Tellurium nanoparticles harness the unique properties of tellurium, a silvery-gray semimetal with a notable crystalline structure and semiconductive properties. These nanoparticles are particularly valuable due to their enhanced conductivity, which is sensitive to light exposure, making them ideal for applications in the electronics industry, including the development of advanced semiconductors and photoreceptors. Furthermore, tellurium's compatibility with other elements allows for its use in creating special alloys that exhibit remarkable electrical resistance. By leveraging the distinctive characteristics of tellurium, these nanoparticles are designed to improve the performance and durability of materials while expanding their applications in high-tech fields.
