Comparative example 1
Cu-Te nanocrystalline powder and matrix Cu were prepared according to example 1, steps 1.1 and 1.22SnSe3The thermoelectric material is prepared by mixing the powder prepared in the step with the following raw materials in a volume ratio of 0.1%: 1 (Cu-Te: Cu)2SnSe3) Weighing 10g of composite sample, putting the composite sample into a ball mill for carrying out homogenization ball milling with the ball milling parameters being the same as those in example 1, then carrying out discharge plasma sintering on the powder after ball milling with the sintering parameters being the same as those in example 1 to prepare Cu-Te nano crystal/Cu2SnSe3A thermoelectric composite material.

Comparative example 2
Cu-Te nanocrystalline powder and matrix Cu were prepared according to example 2, steps 1.1 and 1.22SnSe3The thermoelectric material is prepared by mixing the powder prepared in the step with the following raw materials in a volume ratio of 1.5%: 1 (Cu-Te: Cu)2SnSe3) Weighing 10g of composite sample, putting the composite sample into a ball mill for carrying out homogenization ball milling with the ball milling parameters being the same as those in example 1, then carrying out discharge plasma sintering on the powder after ball milling with the sintering parameters being the same as those in example 1 to prepare Cu-Te nano crystal/Cu2SnSe3A thermoelectric composite material.
