| Application: | Germanium(IV) oxide can be used:• To prepare glasses for nuclear radiation shielding and ultra-broadband amplification. For example, germanium and bismuth oxide glasses. • As a precursor to synthesize GeO2/TiO2 nanocomposites that can be used for the photocatalysis of organic pollutants. • As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high lithium storage capacity, thermostability, and large volume expansion during the charge–discharge process. |
