• Uses: Cadmium telluride finds applications as the semiconductor material in photovoltaics and infrared optical window. It is used in the production of thin film solar cells. It is doped with chlorine and used as a radiation detector for x-rays, alfa and beta particles. . Cadmium telluride may be used in photovoltaic solar cells as the window layer. CdTe was used in the preparation of an Au/Cu2Te/CdTe/CdS/TCO/glass heterostructure for solar cell. In semiconductor research, in phosphors.
