Abstract: This work is devoted to the development of porous germanium anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Samples of porous germanium were fabricated by ion implantation of Co+ ions in single-crystal germanium plates. The surface morphology of porous germanium samples with an increase in the implantation dose of Co+ ions was studied. Scanning electron microscopy study revealed that the implantation leaded to the formation of porosity of the surface and the surface morphology differed for different doses of implantation. It is assumed that the obtained Ge material with a porous surface can be used as effective anode material in lithium-ion batteries and will show an increased capacity and charge / discharge rate relative to traditionally used graphite.
