High purity germanium dioxide has huge application space
Germanium dioxide doped oxide semiconductors have received extensive attention, and the preparation and properties of doped TiO2, SnO2 and ZnO materials have been studied most. Germanium dioxide materials have been widely used in optics, catalysis and biology, especially in the field of optics. Germanium dioxide is a wide band gap (5eV) material, which has its own luminescence properties. It can also adjust the wavelength of the luminescence spectrum by doping. Some data show that the distribution of its luminescence peak P is in the range of blue light to near-infrared light. Germanium dioxide also has a high refractive index, which allows it to be used as an optical waveguide material, and its properties can be further adjusted by doping. This kind of germanium dioxide material can use germanium alkoxide as precursor to prepare germanium dioxide thin films by sol-gel method.
Germanium dioxide is mainly used in the production of germanium and also in the electronic industry. Used as semiconductor material. It is prepared by heating oxidation of germanium or hydrolysis of germanium tetrachloride. It is used as raw material for the preparation of metal germanium and other germanium compounds, catalyst for the preparation of polyethylene terephthalate resin, spectral analysis and semiconductor materials. It can produce optical glass phosphor, which can be used as a catalyst for conversion, dehydrogenation, gasoline distillate adjustment, color film and polyester fiber production during petroleum refining. Moreover, germanium dioxide is also a catalyst for polymerization. The glass containing germanium dioxide has high refractive index and dispersion performance, and can be used as wide-angle camera and microscope lens. With the development of technology, germanium dioxide is widely used to produce high-purity metal germanium, germanium compounds, chemical catalysts and pharmaceutical industry, PET resin, electronic devices, etc.
