“…However, the low capacity (~372 mAh g −1 ) of the graphite anode material of LIBs cannot meet the current market demand for high-energy storage [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop high-energy-density electrode materials to meet the needs of social development [5]. Anode materials such as Si, Ge, Sn, Zn, Ni and their oxides have high theoretical capacities.…”

Germanium-based multi-metallic-oxide materials have advantages of low activation energy, tunable output voltage, and high theoretical capacity. However, they also exhibit unsatisfactory electronic conductivity, sluggish cation kinetics, and severe volume change, resulting in inferior long-cycle stability and rate performance in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To solve these problems, we synthesize metal-organic frameworks derived from rice-like Zn2GeO4 nanowire bundles as the anode of LIBs via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, minimizing the particle size and enlarging the cation’s transmission channels, as well as, enhancing the electronic conductivity of the materials. The obtained Zn2GeO4 anode exhibits superior electrochemical performance. A high initial charge capacity of 730 mAhg−1 is obtained and maintained at 661 mAhg−1 after 500 cycles at 100 mA g−1 with a small capacity degradation ratio of ~0.02% for each cycle. Moreover, Zn2GeO4 exhibits a good rate performance, delivering a high capacity of 503 mA h g−1 at 5000 mA g−1. The good electrochemical performance of the rice-like Zn2GeO4 electrode can be attributed to its unique wire-bundle structure, the buffering effect of the bimetallic reaction at different potentials, good electrical conductivity, and fast kinetic rate.
