General description
Tellurium dioxide, also known as tellurium(IV) oxide, is a white, crystalline solid with a melting point of 1,130 °C and a boiling point of 1,850 °C. Tellurium dioxide is an important material in a number of applications, including as a catalyst in the synthesis of plastics resins, and pharmaceuticals, and as a component in tellurium-based alloys. Tellurium dioxide is typically made at high temperatures either by decomposition of tellurium(IV) chloride or tellurium(IV) sulfate in the presence of oxygen.
Application
Tellurium dioxide is used to prepare tellurium metal, telluric acid, and many tellurium salts. It may also be used in the preparation of Ag2Te nanoparticles.

A systematic electrochemical study was conducted to investigate the reduction of tellurium (Te) in alkaline solutions. The effect of various parameters, including tellurite ion concentration, applied potential, and pH was investigated by both linear sweep voltammograms (LSVs) and electrochemical quartz

A facile one-step synthesis of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) in aqueous solution by atmospheric microwave reactor has been developed using 3-mercaptopropionic acid reduction of TeO2 directly. The obtained CdTe QDs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescent spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction

We report on spectroscopic properties and energy transfer of Tm(3+)/Ho(3+)-codoped tungsten tellurite glasses for 1.47microm amplifier. Fluorescence spectra and the analysis of energy transfer indicate that Ho(3+) is an excellent codopant for 1.47microm emission. Comparing with other tellurite glasses, the
