Cadmium telluride 99.99+% 50 g

Cadmium telluride is a highly efficient semiconductor material used in the production of solar cells and radiation detectors. Its unique properties make it an ideal choice for converting sunlight into electricity, offering significant advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and energy conversion efficiency. With its ability to absorb a wide range of light wavelengths, cadmium telluride is revolutionizing the renewable energy industry and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
When working with Cadmium telluride (CdTe), it is important to follow safety precautions to minimize the risk of exposure and potential health hazards. Here are some short safety instructions to consider: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat or protective clothing, when handling CdTe. This will help prevent direct contact with the substance. 2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use fume hoods to minimize the inhalation of CdTe dust or fumes. Ensure that the workspace has adequate airflow to prevent the accumulation of airborne particles. 3. Handling: Avoid direct skin contact with CdTe. Use tools or gloves to handle the substance and prevent any accidental ingestion or absorption through the skin. 4. Storage: Store CdTe in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials. Follow proper labeling and storage guidelines to prevent accidental exposure. 5. Spills and Cleanup: In case of spills, carefully clean up CdTe using appropriate methods, such as vacuuming or wet wiping, to avoid dispersing the substance. Dispose of contaminated materials properly according to local regulations. 6. Waste Disposal: Dispose of CdTe waste in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Do not dispose of it in regular trash or pour it down the drain. 7. Training and Awareness: Ensure that all personnel working with CdTe are properly trained on its hazards, safe handling procedures, and emergency response protocols. Regularly communicate and reinforce safety practices to maintain awareness. 8. Emergency Response: In case of accidental exposure or ingestion, seek medical attention immediately. Provide medical professionals with information about the substance to ensure appropriate treatment. Remember, these instructions are not exhaustive, and it is essential to consult specific safety guidelines and regulations provided by your organization or local authorities when working with CdTe.
