AbstractThe fabrication of Si-Ge oxide composites in a two-stage photobioreactor cultivation process was systematically optimized by increasing the amount of germanium assimilated into the diatom cells. In this optimization process of the synthesis of Si-Ge oxides that maintain the original morphology of the diatoms, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) both equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer were extensively used to characterize the evaluation of the chemical composition and structural properties of the processed diatoms.
