SI LICON
Porous silicon is rapidly attracting increasing interest from various fields, including optoelec-
tronics, microelectronics, photonics, medicine, sensor and energy technologies, chemistry, and
biosensing. This nanostructured and biodegradable material has a range of unique properties
that make it ideal for many applications. This book, the third of a three-volume set covering all
aspects of porous silicon formation and applications, focuses on applications of porous silicon
in optoelectronics, microelectronics, and energy technologies.
From Formation to Application
The book highlights the features of fabrication and performance of several forms of technology
that incorporate porous silicon, including
• Photonic crystals
• Fuel cells
• Elements of integral optoelectronics
• Solar cells
• Electroluminescence devices (LEDs)
• Batteries
• Supercapacitors Optoelectronics, Microelectronics, and
• Cold cathodes
• Hydrogen generation and storage Energy Technology Applications, Volume Three
• Porous silicon–based composites
Porous Silicon: From Formation to Applications: Optoelectronics, Microelectronics, and
Energy Technology Applications, Volume Three is an indispensable resource for scientists
and engineers in industries and laboratories. It provides an updated, comprehensive, single
source of information that was previously scattered across numerous journal articles. It contains a
wealth of insights for designing and improving the performance of various porous silicon–based
devices, and is also a significant reference for those interested in learning more about the
unusual properties of porous materials and possible areas for their application.
