Abstract

HF-treated silicon nanowires exhibited surface-dependent chemical property and accelerated the oxidation rate of copper with the enhancement factor of 10 000, confirmed by x-ray diffraction semi-quantitative analysis. This unexpected oxidation characteristic would make HF-treated silicon nanowires valuable for catalysis applications. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
