Binary PbTe thermoelectric compounds have been successfully synthesized by alkaline reducing solvothermal, hydrothermal and low-temperature aqueous chemical routes using Pb(CH{sub 3}COO){sub 2}.3H{sub 2}O and pure tellurium as precursors, and NaBH{sub 4} as the reductant. Compared to PbTe powders synthesized by solvothermal and hydrothermal routes, smaller PbTe nanopowders of about 20 nm have been obtained by low-temperature aqueous chemical route. Possible formation mechanisms of PbTe were discussed.
