Energy and tellurium deposits
In this article, we focus on the next generation of green batteries that are closely related to semi-metallic tellurium and its deposits. We briefly summarize the chemical and geochemical characteristics of tellurium that ordinary readers are not familiar with or have never heard of, and its importa...

| description | In this article, we focus on the next generation of green batteries that are closely related to semi-metallic tellurium and its deposits. We briefly summarize the chemical and geochemical characteristics of tellurium that ordinary readers are not familiar with or have never heard of, and its important role in many fields such as high-tech and medical care, current global resource distribution, major mineral extraction and purification technologies and market evolution, etc. The spatiotemporal distribution of the two main types of tellurium deposits, namely associated tellurium deposits and independent tellurium deposits, is introduced in detail. The geological and geochemical characteristics of the only independent tellurium deposit in the world are introduced in detail, so that relevant researchers can use this deposit as an example to discover more independent tellurium deposits around the world, meeting people's increasingly urgent demand for tellurium and realizing the sustainable development of human society. We believe that humans will discover more and more new energy metals in the near future to meet the dual goals of protecting the earth's environment and developing the economy, which are contradictory and mutually reinforcing. New generation of energy metal batteries must be small, compact, easy to carry, charge quickly, and have a long life. |
