We have taken on the challenge of developing silicon nanostructures, i.e., nanoparticles, nanoporous particles, nanowires, nanoholes, pyramid, inverted pyramid, micro-desert textures and porous-desert textures, having outstanding functions, such as high electrical conductivity and high specific surface area, by using simplified procedures based on a chemical approach. Toward the development of environmental and energy fields, we are engaged on the fabrication of novel hybrid solar cells combining functional silicon nanostructures with organic conducting polymers and novel lithium ion battery using functional silicon nanostructure anodes.
