Recycling ZnTe, CdTe, and Other Compound Semiconductors by Ambipolar Electrolysis

The electrochemical behavior of ZnTe and CdTe compound semiconductors dissolved in molten ZnCl[subscript 2] and equimolar CdCl[subscript 2]–KCl, respectively, was examined. In these melts dissolved Te is present as the divalent telluride anion, Te[superscript 2–], which was found able to be converte...
