Abstract:
We report on Si NWs modified by covalent scaffolds, via SiC bonds, that give nearly full coverage of the Si atop sites and, at the same time, provide a route for subsequent functionalization. The obtained CH(3)CHCHSi NWs exhibit superior oxidation resistance over Si NWs that are modified with CH(3) or CH(3)CC functionalities, which give nearly full coverage of the Si atop site too.
