摘要: Abstract Porous silicon (PS) decorated by several nanostructured metal elements has still aroused interests as promising composites in many industrial applications. With the focus mainly on synthesis, aspect of stability against optical irradiation such materials so far not been thoroughly addressed. This work focuses primarily influence lithium chloride solution (LiCl) treatment physical properties PS. Variations structural and optoelectronic PS were observed after immersion (LiCl), revealed obtained analyses. Moreover, enhanced photoluminescence (PL) property passivation particles was clearly shown, their presence surface microporous confirmed FTIR spectroscopy atomic force microscopy. An improvement minority carrier lifetime also obtained, which attributed to decrease recombination velocity LiCl treatment.
