Fabrication of conducting Si nanowire arrays
The recent development of the superlattice nanowire pattern transfer technique allows for the fabrication of arrays of nanowires at a diameter, pitch, aspect ratio, and regularity beyond competing approaches. Here, we report the fabrication of conducting Si nanowire arrays with wire widths and pitches of 10–20 and 40–50 nm, respectively, and resistivity values comparable to the bulk through the...

We report the fabrication of a three dimensional branched ZnO/Si heterojunction nanowire array by a two-step, wafer-scale, low-cost, solution etching/growth method and its use as photoelectrode in a photoelectrochemical cell for high efficiency solar powered water splitting. Specifically, we demonstrate that the branched nanowire heterojunction photoelectrode offers improved light absorption, i...
متن کاملHigh-performance n-Si/α-Fe2O3 core/shell nanowire array photoanode towards photoelectrochemical water splitting.
Many narrow band-gap semiconductors cannot fulfil the energetic requirements for water splitting, thus the assistance of large external voltages to complete the water decomposition reaction is required. Through thermal decomposition of Fe(NO3)3 on n-Si nanowires prepared by the chemical etching method, we fabricated a high-performance n-Si/α-Fe2O3 core/shell nanowire array photoanode that exhib...
متن کاملCarbon quantum dots decorated Cu2S nanowire arrays for enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.
The photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of Cu2S nanowire arrays (NWAs) has been demonstrated to be greatly enhanced by dipping-assembly of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) on the surfaces of Cu2S NWAs. Experimental results show that the pristine Cu2S NWAs with higher aspect ratios exhibit better PEC performance due to the longer length scale for light absorption and the shorter length scale for mi...
متن کاملPhotoelectrochemical performance of N-doped ZnO branched nanowire photoanodes
A ZnO branched-nanowire (BNW) photoanode was doped with N for use in a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) to generate H2 from water splitting. First, ZnO BNWs were synthesized by chemical bath deposition method. Two experimental methods were used for N-doping: the time-controlled direct-current glow discharge plasma (DCGDP) and the DC magnetron plasma (DCMP) methods, to optimize N-doping of the NW...
