In the past two decades, tremendous efforts have been made towards the development of synthetic strategies for nanostructured materials with well‐controlled size, shape, composition, and spatial arrangement. Herein, we report a systematic study on the synthesis of tellurium nanostructures, which can evolve from nanoparticles to nanorods, nanowires, and nanotubes by a simple solution‐based process. The size‐ and diameter‐dependent optical properties of Te nanowires have been explained based on the modeling calculations using the joint density of states (JDOS).
