Several methods have been developed to synthesize PbTe nanomaterials, including:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where precursor gases react to form solid PbTe nanomaterials on a substrate. Solution-phase Synthesis: Involves chemical reactions in a liquid medium to produce PbTe nanoparticles. Mechanical Alloying: A solid-state process that involves repeated welding, fracturing, and re-welding of powder particles to produce nanostructured PbTe.
