White-Light Emission Characteristics of Nanoporous Silicon Membrane by Post-Treatment of Supercritical Fluid Technology

Lin J.C., Hsu M-K, Hou H-T, Wu J-Y, St. John’s University, TW

Nanoporous silicon (NPS) membrane with white-light emission property, including red, green and blue (RGB) colors by using the glucose post-treatment of supercritical fluid technology (SCF) is originally proposed in this paper. The electrochemical anodization with [...]

Nanoengineering of a New Generation Proton Exchange Membrane for Micro Fuel Cells

Moghaddam S., Masel R., Shannon M., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US

We report development of the first viable silicon-based proton exchange membrane (PEM). This was achieved through self-assembly of 3-mercaptopropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) molecules inside extremely high aspect ratio torturous silicon nanopores. This development can greatly benefit the [...]
