Low temperature synthesis of graphene nanocomposites using surface passivation of porous silicon nanocrystallites with carbon atoms

Abstract This work presents the experimental investigation of the synthesis of graphene carbon nanocomposites (CNC-G) by carbonization of porous silicon (PS) using CVD method at low temperature of T = 350–500 °C. The low-temperature synthesis of CNC-G is explained by a low melting temperature of porous silicon nanocrystallites (nc-PS) formed during electrochemical etching.
