摘要:
A method and an apparatus have been developed to fabricate large area uniform silicon cone arrays using different kinds of ion-beam sputtering methods. The apparatus includes silicon substrate as the silicon source, and metal foils are used as catalyst. Methods of surface modification of the as-synthesized silicon cones for field emission application have also been developed, including hydrofluoric acid etching, annealing and low work-function metal coating. Nano-structure modification based on silicon cones takes advantage of the fact that the cone tip consists of metal/metal siliside, which can be used as catalyst and template for nanowires growth. A method and an apparatus have been developed to grow silicon oxide/silicon nanowires on tips of the silicon cones.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for the preparation of graphene or graphene-like fragments of another layered structure, said process comprising the step of mixing and grinding graphite or said other layered structure with at least one ionic liquid. The invention also provides the use of grinding in ionic liquids in such a process and products formed or formable by such methods.
