AB  - In the rapidly evolving domain of nanotechnology, understanding transport properties in nanomaterials, especially those based on lead, is of paramount importance. This mini review provides a critical examination of first-principles calculations applied to discern transport characteristics within lead-based nanomaterials, with a special emphasis on nanowires and other intricate nanostructures. These systems, characterized by their reduced dimensions and quantum effects, manifest unique electronic behaviors, significantly influenced by the interplay of electronic states at the nanoscale. By collating and analyzing recent research endeavors, we furnish a succinct overview of the advancements in this niche. Emphasis is placed on the methodologies underlying first-principles calculations, the consequent revelations about these nanomaterials, and their potential impact on sectors like electronics devices. Furthermore, the review underscores the challenges and prospects in this realm, aiming to provide both researchers and practitioners with a cogent understanding of lead-based nanomaterials’ transport properties. As these materials solidify their importance in the annals of nanotechnology, the insights garnered from such reviews are instrumental in steering future innovations and technological breakthroughs.
