Abstract

A new (NH4)3H(Ge7O16)(H2O)2.72 precursor-pyrolyzation approach was designed and developed for the facile synthesis of nanostructured GeO2, avoiding the use of any hazardous or expensive germanium compounds. The products show promising anode application in lithium ion batteries with high capacity and excellent cycling stability.
