In Al-Te batteries, the dissolution of tellurium and tellurium chloroaluminate compounds during the electrochemical reaction will seriously affect its electrochemical performance. In order to avoid this problem, we prepared hollow nanotube carbon-coated tellurium electrode materials, whose coating w...
