About Cadmium telluride, 99.999%

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Cadmium telluride, an electronic material registered under CAS number 1306-25-8 at a purity of 99.999%. Its molecular formula is CdTe and its molecular weight is 240.0 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is tellanylidenecadmium. Common synonyms include Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and Cadmium monotelluride.

In its supplied form it is grey to dark grey or black powder or crystalline chunks. Reported physical data include a melting point of 1092 °C and a density of 6.2 g/mL at 25 °C. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for semiconductor research, electronic devices, thin films and optics and photonics. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and electronics and semiconductors.

We offer Cadmium telluride in 1 g, 5 g, 25 g and 50 g packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
