    Abstract

    Copper germanate has attracted wide attention because of its spin-Peierls transition and excellent lithium storage performance. Typical hydrothermal method uses weak acid salts such as Cu(CH3COO)2 to promote the ionization of water to obtain OH - required for the growth of CuGeO3. Although the operation is facile, the reaction time is long and the efficiency is low. In this work, CuCl2 was used as the copper source instead of Cu(CH3COO)2 and the pH of precursor solution was adjusted to control the adsorption capacity of each crystal plane and the supersaturation of the solution, so as to achieve efficient preparation of CuGeO3 nanorods and CuGeO3 hexagonal nanosheets, effectively shortening the reaction time to 8 h. Based on this, one-dimensional structure-directing agent ethylenediamine was added to accelerate the reaction process while limiting the two-dimensional planar growth of CuGeO3, and six different sizes ( 100 nm, 200-300 nm, 350-500 nm, 400-700 nm, 1-2 μm and 1-3 μm) of uniform CuGeO3 nanowires were efficiently prepared.
