Lithium-ion batteries have been actively researched in recent years due to it being one of the most promising energy storage systems. Herein, we report a novel approach where germanium nanowires (Ge NW) are grown in gold-seeded porous carbon via the solution–liquid–solid mechanism, and the correspon...
