Abstract: In recent decades, Germanium (Ge) has been supposed to be the greatest potential candidate for new-type composite electrodes to replace carbonous anodes for lithium-ion batteries electrochemical and other energy storage devices, due to their excellent capacity properties and potential applications in rechargeable high-performance batteries. What’s more, all types of lowdimensional Ge-based nanomaterias, including nanowires, nanobelts, nanoparticles and nanotubes, have been explored for design and applications, owing to the superior physical and chemical characteristics that result from their geometric construction and low-dimension. Recently, Ge-based nanomaterials have been highlighted by large numbers of scientists and engineers. This review is focusing upon the advanced high-performance rechargeable batteries (Lithium-ion batteries, Sodium-ion batteries and Magnesium-ion batteries) with Ge-based nanomaterials during past few decades.
