Silicon Nanotips and Related Nano-Systems Involving Fluid and Carrier Transport and Their Micro-Devices for Power and Sensing Applications

Abstract

A number of micro-/nano-devices using arrayed silicon nanotips (SiNTs), ZnO nanorods and related advanced nano-composites as their key components have been developed. These devices possess specific attributes such as architecture- and/or surface/interfacecontrolled properties. For any targeted functionality, different treatments for the surface or interface are required for best optimizing the resultant physical/chemical properties. On-chip approach to fabricate micro-/nano-fluidic devices involving fluid and carrier transport, such as the electrochemical power and sensing has been employed. Joint project with AFRL and US-based scientists on ionic-liquid fuel injector for space vehicle has been proposed during this period of time and approved recently.
