With the growing interest of the automotive industies in medium temperature TEGs, lead telluride PbTe and its nanoscale structuring gets in the focus of further material developments. A comparative study on the preparation and the properties of PbTe based nanocomposites will be presented in this contribution. Ball-milling methods were applied for the preparation of different formally ternary and quaternary phases. The thermopower values and the electrical conductivities were evaluated for cold-pressed samples. The changes in the morphologies of the different composites after an annealing step were investigated by SEM and TEM methods. Diffusion processes at the interface of the inclusion and the PbTe matrix seem to play an important role.
