In this paper, we present a novel structure for bio-inspired photochemical light absorption based on porous silicon formation technology. Macro-and microporous samples were obtained by anodic etching on highly-doped n-type silicon substrate. TiO 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel hydrolyzing method by immersing the samples in the precursor. After rinse and calcinations, light absorption effects were characterized by the reflective spectrums. It can be easily found that the two samples play different roles in the light absorption by comparing the spectrums before and after TiO 2 synthesization which can enhance the efficiency of energy transformation.
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.
