Antimony telluride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Sb2Te3. It is a grey, crystalline solid, although its melting point, density and colour may depend on the crystalline form it adopts.

Synthesis

Antimony telluride can be formed by the reaction of antimony with tellurium at 500–900 °C.[1]

2Sb(l) + 3Te(l) → Sb2Te3(l)

Applications

Like other binary chalcogenides of antimony and bismuth, Sb2Te3 has been investigated for its semiconductor properties. It can be transformed into both n-type and p-type semiconductors by doping with an appropriate dopant.[1]

Sb2Te3 forms the pseudobinary intermetallic system germanium-antimony-tellurium with germanium telluride, GeTe.[2]

Like bismuth telluride, Bi2Te3, antimony telluride has a large thermoelectric effect and is therefore used in solid state refrigerators.[1]
