title: Amorphous silicon with high specific surface area prepared by a sodiothermic reduction method for supercapacitors.
abstract: A sodiothermic reduction method has been developed for the preparation of porous silicon using aluminosilicate zeolite NaY as a precursor. The porous silicon with a specific surface area of approximately 570 m(2) g(-1) shows distinct capacitive behavior when used as an electrode material for supercapacitors.
