Electrochemical preparation of silicon nanowires from nanometre silica in molten calcium chloride.
Here we report Si nanowire growth by electrochemical reduction of nanometre silica in molten CaCl2; to our knowledge, this is the first report of an electrochemical route that provides crystalline Si nanowires in large quantities.
