Porous Silicon and Silicon Nanowires for On-Chip Supercapacitor Electrodes: A Review.

ABSTRACT: Finding efficient ways to store energy is a current topic both at the macro level and at the microscale. As silicon plates are the main platform for the integration of microelectronic devices, it is reasonable to use the silicon structures as the active materials for on-chip microcapacitors. Porous silicon (pSi) and silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are ideal candidates for planar electrodes because these layers are directly embedded into the silicon wafer. The review contains a brief summary of the formation features of pSi/SiNW and their electrochemical performance. The structural characteristics of the silicon matrix (depth and morphology) that influence capacitive electrode properties are examined comprehensively for the first time. Particular attention is given to additional coatings on the p
