PbTe nanomaterials have shown potential in several key areas:
Thermoelectric Generators: PbTe nanomaterials can convert heat into electricity with high efficiency, making them ideal for waste heat recovery and power generation. Infrared Detectors: Due to their narrow bandgap, PbTe nanomaterials are sensitive to infrared radiation, which is useful for night vision and thermal imaging technologies. Nanoelectronics: PbTe nanowires and nanodots can be used in nanoelectronic devices due to their size-dependent electronic properties.
