โฆ Synopsis
Well-crystallized straight Si nanowires (SiNWs) were successfully prepared in large scale via a facile reaction between NaN 3 and Na 2 SiF 6 at 600 1C without using any catalyst. Characterization by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy demonstrates that the as-obtained product is pure-phase cubic SiNWs with diameters of 40 nm or so, and lengths of several micrometers. And the SiNWs with spherical tips can be obtained at a temperature as low as 300 1C. Heating temperature and holding time have crucial influence on the synthesis and morphology of the SiNWs. An oxide-assisted growth mechanism is responsible for the formation of the SiNWs.
