Sb2Te is a binary intermetallic ceramic compound composed of antimony and tellurium, belonging to the chalcogenide ceramic family. It is primarily investigated as a thermoelectric material and semiconductor component, with research interest driven by its potential for thermal energy conversion and electronic device applications where phase stability and moderate mechanical stiffness are beneficial. Sb2Te and related antimony telluride compounds are notable alternatives to more conventional thermoelectrics in niche applications requiring layered crystal structures and narrow bandgap semiconducting behavior.
