Tellurium (Te), the most metallic semiconductor, has been widely explored in recent decades owing to its fantastic properties such as a tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, high thermal conductivity, and in-plane anisotropy. Many references have witnessed the rapid development of synthesizing diverse Te geometries with controllable shapes, sizes, and structures in different strategies. In all types of Te nanostructures, Te with one-dimensional (1D) hollow internal structures, especially nanotubes (NTs), have attracted extensive attention and been utilized in various fields of applications. Motivated by the structure-determined nature of Te NTs, we prepared a minor review about the emerging synthesis and nanostructure control of Te NTs, and the recent progress of research into Te NTs was summarized. Finally, we highlighted the challenges and further development for future applications of Te NTs.
碲（Te）是最具金属性的半导体，近几十年来，因其具有诸如可调节带隙、高载流子迁移率、高导热性和面内各向异性等优异特性而得到广泛研究。许多参考文献都见证了通过不同策略合成具有可控形状、尺寸和结构的各种碲几何结构的快速发展。在所有类型的碲纳米结构中，具有一维（1D）中空内部结构的碲，尤其是纳米管（NTs），受到了广泛关注并已应用于各个领域。受碲纳米管结构决定性质的启发，我们撰写了一篇关于碲纳米管新兴合成与纳米结构控制的小型综述，并总结了碲纳米管的最新研究进展。最后，我们强调了碲纳米管未来应用面临的挑战和进一步发展方向。
