초록

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 areas of silicon nanowires (SiNW) are fabricated. The purification effect induces a similar to 35% increase in photocurrent for a SiNW based photoelectrochemical cell.
