High Performance Germanium-based Anode Materials for Lithium-ion and Sodium-ion Rechargeable Batteries
DownloadFall 2014
In this thesis the electrochemical performance of germanium nanowires (GeNWs) as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and tin-germanium-antimony (Sn-Ge-Sb) thin films as anode for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have been investigated. Scientific literature shows a substantial study-to-study...
