Complete magnesiothermic reduction reaction of vertically aligned mesoporous silica channels to form pure silicon nanoparticles
Owing to its simplicity and low temperature conditions, magnesiothermic reduction of silica is one of the most powerful methods for producing silicon nanostructures. However, incomplete reduction takes place in this process leaving unconverted silica under the silicon layer. This phenomenon limits the use of this method for the rational design of silicon structures. In this effort, a technique ...
متن کاملOptimization of the nanoporous silicon structures by magnesiothermic reduction of the as-synthesized silica
Nanoporous silicon powder was produced via efficient magnesiothermic reduction. In this work, the thermal effect and reduction process time were investigated on the porous silicon structure. The nanoporous silicon powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that porous structure was changed to homogeneous and...
متن کاملA magnesiothermic reaction process for the scalable production of mesoporous silicon for rechargeable lithium batteries.
Mesoporous, 3-D, nanocrystalline Si has been synthesized via the magnesiothermic reduction of SiO particles at a peak temperature of only 500 °C in a scalable flow-through reactor setup. Such 3-D porous Si as an anode material exhibited high, reversible capacities (i.e., >900 mA h g(-1) after 160 charge-discharge cycles at 1000 mA g(-1)).
متن کاملMesoporous silica reinforced by silica nanoparticles to enhance mechanical performance.
Silica nanoparticle/mesoporous silica composite films were prepared by direct mixing with mechanical stirring and thermal imidization. The structural morphology was elucidated by scanning electron microscopy and the surface of the film was imaged by atomic force microscopy. The functional groups and desorption process of the films were elucidated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and t...
متن کاملUltrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles.
The first successful approach to synthesizing ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles is reported. Fluorescent dye is physically entrapped inside nanochannels of a silica matrix created during templated sol-gel self-assembly. The problem of dye leakage from open channels is solved by incorporation of hydrophobic groups in the silica matrix. This makes the approach compatible wit...
