title: Chemical synthesis of germanium nanoparticles with uniform size as anode materials for lithium ion batteries.
abstract: A simple Mg-thermal reduction reaction is reported to synthesize germanium (Ge) nanoparticles with a uniform size at a low temperature of 400 °C in an autoclave. The as-prepared Ge nanoparticles exhibit promising anode applications in lithium ion batteries with high capacity and excellent cycling stability.
