Reaction Mechanism and Performance of Innovative 2D Germanane-Silicane Alloys: Si_xGe_{1- x}H Electrodes in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: The adjustable structures and remarkable physicochemical properties of 2D monoelemental materials, such as silicene and germanene, have attracted significant attention in recent years. They can be transformed into silicane (SiH) and germanane (GeH) through covalent functionalization via hydrogen atom termination. However, synthesizing these materials with a scalable and low-cost fabrication process to achieve high-quality 2D SiH and GeH poses challenges. Herein, groundbreaking 2D SiH and GeH materials with varying compositions, specifically Si_0.25Ge_0.75H, Si_0.50Ge_0.50H, and Si_0.75Ge_0.25H, are prepared through a simple and efficient chemical exfoliation of their Zintl phases. These 2D materials offer significant advantages, i
