Abstract

Here we report the solution-liquid-solid (SLS) synthesis of silicon (Si) nanowires. Nanowires are grown by trisilane (Si3H8) decomposition in a high boiling solvent, octacosane (C28H58) or squalane (C30H62), in the presence of either Au or Bi nanocrystals. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a colloidal synthetic route carried out in a solvent at atmospheric pressure that provides crystalline Si nanowires in large quantities.
