The sensing performace, light scattering, and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of porous silicon were investigated. It was suggested that the structure of porous silicon was determinant towards high sensitivity to NO2. A way to change the structure was by modifying the composition of the electrochemical solution. It was found that the way to achieve the best results was by using ethanoic solutions with HF concentration levels between 12% and 13%
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
