Abstract

Energy storage has been of a topic of curiosity since long for a persistent human activity. Storing power from several intermittent sources has been a great interest of scientific community and grows as the renewable energy industry begins to generate a larger fraction of overall energy consumption. Several renewable sources of energy exist, e.g., wind energy, solar energy, bioenergy, etc., but the problem is to store this energy and again reuse it when needed. For that an electrode is required that has high-energy storage capacity. The electrode that has a very large surface area, long durability, and high conductivity is prerequisite. Electrochemically prepared porous silicon where the physical properties, e.g., pore diameter, porosity, and pore length can be controlled by etching parameter and the functionalized nanostructured surfaces of porous silicon, might be the key material to develop high-energy storage electrodes.
