Germanium-based anode materials have emerged as a key focus of research in the realm of lithium-ion batteries, owing to their high theoretical specific capacity (about 4 times that of carbon), low lithium insertion potential, and excellent conductivity (about 104 times that of silicon).
For more information on the journal statistics, click here. Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. Germanium, a promising electrode material for high-capacity lithium ion batteries (LIBs) anodes, attracted much attention because of its large capacity and remarkably fast charge/discharge kinetics.
The preparation of germanium materials into nanoparticles , , nanowires , , nanotubes , , or nanofilms structures can significantly increase their specific surface area and lithium ion diffusion rate, thus improving the electrochemical performance of the battery.
The annual world output of germanium does not exceed 130 t. In spite of the basic limitations, studies of the germanium applying in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries are continued on a large scale, which is confirmed, in particular, by the recent publishing of review-articles [25, 26, 37 – 47].
The germanium oxides as raw material for the manufacturing of negative electrodes of lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries are likely to take leading positions because they simplify technology of the electrodes’ production and reduce their price significantly.
Generally, this corresponds to the phase equilibrium diagrams [2, 3]. Germanium was first mentioned as a negative-electrode material in a traditional low-temperature lithium-ion battery in 2004 and 2008 [4 – 8]. In the quoted papers, the above-given composition of the lithium–germanium intermetallic compounds was largely confirmed.
