Abstract

Porous silicon and methods for preparation and use of the same are disclosed. The porous silicon materials have utility either alone or in combination with other materials, for example, combined with carbon particles for energy storage applications.

Claims (14)

1 . A method for producing nano-featured porous silicon particles comprising:

suspending particles of a silicon alloy in a liquid medium containing a dissolved acid;

storing the suspended particles for a period of time at a temperature to allow for erosion of metal cations from the silicon alloy into the liquid medium to yield porous silicon particles with nano-sized features; and

removing the liquid medium to yield dried porous silicon particles with nano-sized features.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the particles of the silicon alloy comprise a silicon-aluminum alloy.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the silicon-aluminum alloy particles comprise a median particle size (Dv50) between 1 μm and 20 μm.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid medium comprises aqueous hydrochloric acid, and a temperature between 25° C. and 100° C.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the aluminum in the silicon-aluminum alloy is present at less than 30% by weight.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the erosion of metal cations is conducted in a continuous feed reactor.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the erosion of metal cations is conducted in a dunk tank.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid removal is accomplished by subjecting the porous silicon particles to centrifugation, vacuum, elevated temperature, or a combination thereof.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dissolved acid comprises hydrochloric acid.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the silicon alloy comprises a silicon-aluminum powder.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein suspending comprises suspending the silicon-aluminum powder in a basket having a solid bottom, solid sides, and a mesh top or an open top to allow for movement of liquids.
