Background:

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) exhibit unique optical and electronic properties due to 1D confinement.
Challenges remain in producing high-quality SiNWs with stable, defect-passivated outer shells for solution processing.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an effective method for producing high-quality silicon nanowires with outer-shell defect passivation.
To investigate the impact of in situ organic molecule grafting on SiNW properties and stability.

Main Methods:

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were synthesized from silicon wafers using solution processing.
Outer-shell defect passivation was achieved through in situ grafting of organic molecules.
Characterization was performed on thin films on glass and flexible plastic substrates.

Main Results:

Successful defect passivation and confirmation of high-quality SiNWs.
Significant enhancement in fluorescence lifetime and infrared photoluminescence observed.
Demonstrated stability in solution and on various substrates.

Conclusions:

In situ organic passivation is an effective strategy for improving SiNW quality and stability.
Enhanced SiNWs show promise for applications in low-dimensional silicon devices.
Potential applications include infrared detectors, solar cells, and lithium-ion battery anodes.
