Figure 9. Outlook for Te-based electronics. Schematic summary linking materials (phase control, band engineering, chirality), synthesis (thin films, nanowires, flexible integration), and devices (p-channel transistors, photodetectors, multifunctional sensors) toward future scalable, multifunctional, and quantum applications. CVD: Chemical vapor deposition; CMOS: complementary metal-oxide semiconductor; UV: ultraviolet; VR: virtual reality; AI: artificial intelligent; IR: infrared; VdW: Van der Waals.
