To overcome this, we introduce a confined tellurization strategy utilizing in situ formed metal\u2013tellurium (M\u2013Te) alloys as controllable Te sources. Systematic investigation on appropriate metal species through cohesive energy calculations and experiments demonstrates that the cohesive energy of the source metal and metal\u2010to\u2010Te atomic ratio in the source bilayer are the key parameters dictating Te flux. Among many metals, Au\u2013Te and Ag\u2013Te alloys provide steady Te flux while preventing the delamination of M\/Te bilayer (observed with Pt, Mo, Cu) after metal deposition on Te layer and the undesired co\u2010evaporation of metal (observed with In, Zn) during Te supply for M\n                    <jats:sub>x<\/jats:sub>\n                    Te\n                    <jats:sub>y<\/jats:sub>\n                    synthesis.
