abstract = {Germanium holds great potential as an anode material for
lithium ion batteries due to its high specific capacity and
its favorable properties such as good lithium ion
diffusivity and electronic conductivity. However, the high
cost of germanium and large volume changes during cycling,
which lead to a rapid capacity fading for bulk Ge materials,
demand for nanostructured thin film devices. Herein we
report the preparation and electrochemical properties of
thin films of porous, inverse opal structured Ge anodes
obtained via a simple, up-scalable wet-chemical route
utilizing [Ge9]4− Zintl ions. In the absence of conductive
additives, they show high initial capacities of >1300 mA h
g−1 and promisingly high coulombic efficiencies of up to
$99.3\%$ and deliver over $73\%$ of their initial capacity
after 100 cycles when cycled vs. metallic lithium. In
contrast to many other porous structured Ge electrodes, they
show very little to almost no capacity fading after an
initial drop, which makes them promising candidates for long
life applications.},
