Application


  • Tellurium as a high-performance elemental thermoelectric: Explores the use of elemental tellurium in thermoelectric applications, important for energy conversion technologies, which is relevant for material science (Lin et al., 2016).

  • Love is in the Earth: A review of tellurium (bio) geochemistry in surface environments: Discusses the bio-geochemical cycles of tellurium, its environmental distributions, and transformations, which may be of interest to environmental chemists or those in academia studying geochemical cycles (Missen et al., 2020).

Despite being disparaged for their malodorous and toxic demeanour, compounds of selenium, a bio-essential element, and tellurium, offer possibilities as therapeutic agents. Herein, their potential use as drugs, for example, as anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory agents, etc., will be surveyed along
