Cobalt telluride has shown potential as a catalyst for water splitting and water reduction. The focus of this work is to synthesize cobalt telluride as single crystals using high temperature solid state methods and study its physical properties. A comparison of the quality of materials produced using varying heating programs as well as flux-based synthesis and non-fluxed based synthesis will be made. Samples are inspected via optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to determine approximate stoichiometry and crystal quality.
