Silicon Nanotubes (SiNTs)
Description
Silicon nanotubes are typically 10 - 100 nanometers with a specific surface area of around 10 - 75 m 2 /g. Silicon nanotubes are also available in dispersed and coated forms. Silicon nanotubes have many similarities with a carbon nanotube including a band gap at half-filling and conducting behavior which is dependent on structure.
