The new layered germanate structure Na4Ge16O28(OH)12 has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR, and SEM. The crystal lattice parameters are a = 7.3216(6) A, b = 14.3986(9) A, c = 7.7437(6) A, alpha = 90.0 degrees, beta = 100.179(7) degrees, gamma = 90.0 degrees, and V = 803.5(1) A3. The space group is C2/m with Z = 1. The germanium oxide sheets are connected non-covalently via electrostatic interactions with the sodium cations and H-bridging. At temperatures above 400 degrees C, the structure starts decomposing into sodium enneagermanate (Na4Ge9O20), germanium dioxide, and water as determined by powder X-ray diffraction, TGA, DTA, DSC, and GCMS.

The title compound is a germanium-based hybrid metal halide that represents a less-toxic alternative to more popular lead-based analogues in optoelectronic applications. {(2-ICHNH)[GeI]} is composed of infinite inorganic layers that are formed by [GeI] octa-hedra connected in a corner-sharing manner with four equatorial I atoms. The organic (2-ICHNH) cations inter-leave the inorganic layers.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the growth and structure of ultrathin iron silicate and iron germanate films on a ruthenium substrate, focusing on how temperature affects their formation.
- These two-dimensional films serve as simplified models for more complex, catalytically active structures like zeolites, which have applications as catalysts and molecular sieves.
- Researchers used advanced experimental techniques for real-time analysis and theoretical modeling to reveal that both film systems consist of a two-layer structure, with distinct compositions impacting the arrangement and properties of iron atoms within the films.

Bismuth germanate (BiGeO, BGO) is a widely used optical sensing material with a high electro-optic coefficient, ideal for optical electric field sensors. Achieving high precision in electric field sensing requires fabricating optical waveguides on BGO. Traditional waveguide writing methods face challenges with this material.

We report on the synthesis of two-layered alkali germanates, NaGeO and KGeO. Both compounds were synthesized by using the ammonothermal method at 823 K and 100 MPa. Under these conditions, germanium is partially reduced from the +IV state to +II, forming mixed-valence compounds with the rarely observed [GeO] unit.

Anode-free lithium (Li) metal batteries are desirable candidates in pursuit of high-energy-density batteries. However, their poor cycling performances originated from the unsatisfactory reversibility of Li plating/stripping remains a grand challenge. Here we show a facile and scalable approach to produce high-performing anode-free Li metal batteries using a bioinspired and ultrathin (250 nm) interphase layer comprised of triethylamine germanate.
