Water-Driven Porous Silicon as a Platform for Blue Materials
Marc Thelen, Julia Brandt, Stella Gries +3
Living organisms control water to transport matter, transfer energy and drive chemical reactions. In this perspective, we argue that porous silicon can give engineering materials c…
A Mott-Schottky Analysis of Mesoporous Silicon in Aqueous Electrolyte by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
Manuel Brinker, Patrick Huber
Nanoporosity in silicon leads to completely new functionalities of this mainstream semiconductor. In recent years, it has been shown that filling the pores with aqueous electrolyte…
Wafer-Scale Fabrication of Hierarchically Porous Silicon and Silica Glass by Active Nanoparticle-Assisted Chemical Etching and Pseudomorphic Thermal Oxidation
Stella Gries, Manuel Brinker, Berit Zeller-Plumhoff +4
Many biological materials exhibit a multiscale porosity with small, mostly nanoscale pores as well as large, macroscopic capillaries to simultaneously achieve optimized mass transp…
How nanoporous silicon-polypyrrole hybrids flex their muscles in aqueous electrolytes: In operando high-resolution x-ray diffraction and electron tomography-based micromechanical computer simulations
Manuel Brinker, Marc Thelen, Manfred May +7
Macroscopic strain experiments revealed that Si crystals traversed by parallel, channel-like nanopores functionalized with the muscle polymer polypyrrole exhibit large and reversib…
Wafer-Scale Electroactive Nanoporous Silicon: Large and Fully Reversible Electrochemo-Mechanical Actuation in Aqueous Electrolytes
Manuel Brinker, Patrick Huber
Nanoporosity in silicon results in an interface-dominated mechanics, fluidics and photonics that are often superior to the ones of the bulk material. However, their active control,…
Silicon Flexes Muscles: Giant Electrochemical Actuation in a Nanoporous Silicon-Polypyrrole Hybrid Material
Manuel Brinker, Guido Dittrich, Claudia Richert +5
The absence of piezoelectricity in silicon makes direct electro-mechanical applications of this mainstream semiconductor impossible. Integrated electrical control of the silicon me…
Laser-Excited Elastic Guided Waves Reveal the Complex Mechanics of Nanoporous Silicon
Marc Thelen, Nicolas Bochud, Manuel Brinker +2
Nanoporosity in silicon leads to completely new functionalities of this mainstream semiconductor. A difficult to assess mechanics has however significantly limited its application…
