Abstract

In recent years, germanium oxides have attracted increasing attention as a new type of anode material to replace graphite for lithium-ion batteries because of their high capacity, appropriate voltage potential, and good safety properties. In this review, recent important advances for Ge oxide anode materials are summarized. The limitations of Ge oxide anode materials are discussed, and potential research directions are presented.
