The electrochemical performance of a thick Ge film (ca. 1020 nm) is dramatically improved by adopting vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) arrays as a 3D current collector. The VACNT-supported thick Ge film exhibits high reversible specific capacity (1352 mAh g–1), and excellent capacity reten...
