Herein, a stacked Ge/Cu nanowire (NW) laminate made by stacking several Ge/Cu nanowire laminates accompanied by the conductive glue adhesives is used to achieve high capacity output per unit area (>10 mA h cm −2 ). The combination of Cu NWs and conductive adhesives constructs a tough and conducting network through the electrode, and the stacked Ge/ Cu nanowire laminate electrodes can load an ultrahigh mass of 14.8 mg Ge per unit area and provide an areal capacity output over 16 mA h cm −2 . A fullcell with an areal capacity of 11 mA h cm −2 built by stacked Ge/Cu nanowire laminate anode and Li(Ni 0.5 Co 0.3 Mn 0.2 )O 2 cathode was prepared and used to supply electricity for electronic devices, demonstrating their potential to be a candidate anode for high areal capacity Li-ion microbatteries that can be used for high-tech and integrated microsystems with limited space.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
