| Abstract: | Si nanowires were synthesized from Si wafers and from thin Si films deposited on various substrates by microwave irradiation. The power and time were key determinants of the diameter and morphology of the synthesized Si nanowires. The nanowires had an amorphous structure due to the extremely high heating rate. Carbon coating of the Si nanowires was easily achieved by introducing acetylene after synthesizing the nanowires. Carbon-coated Si nanowires are potential candidates for use as the anode material in next generation Li-ion batteries. |
