Abstract
This paper addresses potential applications of germanium-based nanomaterials in nanoelectronics. We have developed a catalytic process for the hydrogen reduction of germanium tetrachloride in the presence of tungsten. At a temperature of 1073 K, the process reaches a 98.9% conversion in terms of germanium tetrachloride. In addition, we have calculated kinetic characteristics of the catalytic hydrogen reduction of germanium tetrachloride. Using advanced quantum-chemical modeling and density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP/6-311++G(2d, 2p)), we have examined the main reaction underlying the reduction of germanium tetrachloride and all steps of the process.
