- Abstract
Over the last few years, silicon nanowires (SiNWs) have come under intensive researches due to their electrical, optical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. On account of their large surface-to-volume ratio and easy modification, composites based on SiNWs have won a special status in the wide application fields. In this review, we summarize the essential aspects of catalytic activities based on SiNWs. An up-to-date overview of SiNW-based catalysts, including various metal-modified-SiNWs as well as hydrogen terminated SiNWs are discussed in detail. In addition, surface doping effect is illustrated to promote the understanding of catalytic activity.
