Co1Te1.88

Co₁Te₁.₈₈ is a cobalt telluride compound semiconductor with a non-stoichiometric composition, belonging to the transition metal chalcogenide family. This material is primarily investigated in thermoelectric and energy conversion research, where cobalt tellurides are explored as potential alternatives to established thermoelectric materials due to their electronic structure and thermal transport characteristics. The slightly tellurium-rich composition may offer tunable properties for mid-to-high temperature applications, though this compound remains largely in the research phase rather than widespread industrial production.
