Cerium telluride (CeTe) is a binary intermetallic semiconductor compound combining a rare-earth element (cerium) with a chalcogen (tellurium). This material belongs to the family of rare-earth tellurides and is primarily of research and development interest rather than high-volume industrial production. CeTe exhibits interesting electronic and thermal properties relevant to thermoelectric applications, quantum materials research, and specialized optoelectronic devices, though it remains less established than mainstream semiconductors like silicon or gallium arsenide.
