Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) of metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si) has improved the purity of MG-Si (∼99%) to close to solar-grade (∼99.9999%) by removing metal impurities during the successful preparation of porous silicon nanowires (SiNWs). A new etching principle is proposed to explain the different levels of chemical reduction between various metal impurities with pore formation during...
Through metal‐assisted chemical etching (MaCE), superior purification of dirty Si is observed, from 99.74 to 99.9884% for metallurgical Si and from 99.999772 to 99.999899% for upgraded metallurgical Si. In addition, large area of silicon nanowires (SiNW) are fabricated. The purification effect induces a ∼35% increase in photocurrent for SiNW based photoelectrochemical cell.
