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.
