Silicon Nanowires by Electrospinning Liquid Silane-Containing Precursors
Scientists at North Dakota State University (NDSU) have developed a process for continuous high-volume production of silicon micro- and nano-wires based on electrospinning. The technology is based on the ability to use liquid silane as a starting material, so the length of the wires is essentially unlimited. The wires can be produced with a variety...
