Copper(I) telluride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu 2 Te. It can be synthesized by reacting elemental copper and tellurium with a molar ratio of 2:1 at 1200 °C in a vacuum. [3] Cu 2 Te has potential applications in thermoelectric elements and in solar cells, where it is alloyed with cadmium telluride to create a ...
The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa via a thermocouple. [1] A thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side. Conversely, when a voltage is applied to it, heat is transferred from one side to the other, creating a temperature ...
The efficiency of a thermoelectric device for electricity generation is given by , defined as =.. The maximum efficiency of a thermoelectric device is typically described in terms of its device figure of merit where the maximum device efficiency is approximately given by [7] = + ¯ + ¯ +, where is the fixed temperature at the hot junction, is the fixed temperature at the surface being cooled ...
Copper ditelluride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CuTe 2.It is a superconductor with a C18 structure and a transition temperature of 1.3 K. [2] CuTe 2 crystals can be synthesized by reacting elemental copper and tellurium with a molar ratio of 1:2 at a pressure of 65 kbar for 1–3 hours at 1000–1200 °C, followed by slow cooling.
Mechanical properties are similar to tough pitch copper, while machinability is similar to brass - the hardness of the alloy is increased by precipitation of the copper telluride: weissite. [1] Tellurium copper is not suited to welding, but it can be welded with gas shielded arc welding or resistance welding.
