The synthesis of silicon-based nanomaterials involves various methods, each offering different advantages:
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Commonly used for producing high-purity SiNWs, this method involves the chemical reaction of vapor-phase precursors to form solid materials. - Sol-Gel Process: Often used for creating SiNPs, this method involves the transition of a solution into a solid gel phase, allowing precise control over particle size and composition. - Laser Ablation: This technique is used to produce SiNPs by focusing a high-energy laser on a silicon target, causing the ejection of nanoparticles.
