    Abstract

    Nanoporous materials have attracted extremely intense scientific attraction since the photoluminescence discovery at room temperature because of the quantum confinement effects. It is well known that in addition to the superior photoluminescence, nanoporous silicon materials prepared by the electrochemical method are promising materials for applications in catalysis, chemical, energy storage, and biological sensing, due to its high porosity, modifiable surface, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, which comprise tunable optical porous Si structure and the applications such as biosensing, in vivo imaging, gas sensing, and solar cells.
    Therefore, the facile electrochemical methods employed to synthesize the nanoporous materials are marked, especially for nanoporous silicon materials that aim to provide the crucial information about the relevant techniques to consider the eco-friendly developments for the future environmental risks to diminish.
