•  Bismuth Telluride Description:

Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) is a gray or black hexagonal platelet with a metallic luster or gray powder.  It is an alloy of two metallic elements
(bismuth and tellurium) also known as bismuth(III) telluride. It is a semiconductor which, when alloyed with antimony or selenium is an efficient thermoelectric material for refrigeration or portable power generation. Topologically protected surface states have been observed in Bismuth telluride.

• Bismuth Telluride Typical Applications:

 1) Bismuth telluride and its alloys are unique materials. They are an excellent thermoelectric material, and they are as important to the thermoelectric industry – for cooling and energy generation applications – as silicon is important to the electronic industry.

2) Bismuth Telluride may increase significantly the speed of microchips and be the basis for the next generation technology know as "Spintronics".

3) Spintronics is a new, very promising (although still in its infancy) technology in which the intrinsic spin of electrons, rather than the value of a voltage like in today's electronics, is used to store and transport information to be interpreted as either a "1" or a "0". The materials most apt to use in the field of spintronics are what experts call topological insulators, something that scientists have been searching for years and have now finally found in bismuth telluride. Topological insulators have the property of opposing no resistance at all to an electrical flow next to their surface, thus allowing for minimal heat dissipation.

• Bismuth Telluride Typical Packaging:

• Bismuth Telluride TSCA (SARA Title III) Status:

1) Listed- Yes

2) Carcinogen Classifications: TLV-A4 

• Bismuth Telluride Product Safety Information:

Bismuth telluride may emit toxic fumes of tellurium when heated to decomposition. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents such as nitric acid or bromine, chlorine or fluorine. Moderate fire hazard by reaction with such materials. May react with strong acids to evolve toxic gases; may react slowly with water to evolve toxic gases. Slight explosion hazard with moisture.
