Abstract

Integrated DFT-based dual-descriptor screening (*Ge and *GeH) and experiments identify Cu as an optimal catalyst for selective electrochemical GeH 4 synthesis from GeO 2 , linking thermodynamics and kinetics to design guidance.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Molten salt chemistry and electrochemical processes Synthesis and characterization of novel inorganic/organometallic compounds Ammonia Synthesis and Nitrogen Reduction
