Abstract

Rutile GeO₂ with d¹⁰ metal in octahedral coordination possesses both a high charge separation rate and carrier mobility because the partial charge density is dominated by Ge–O anti-bonding for CBM. GeO₂ is capable of photocatalytic water splitting, even visible light water splitting through combination with the sensitizer melon.
