Popis: Silicon nanopowders were prepared by hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (CVD) from monosilane. Wire materials including Hf, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Rh, Re, Ir, Pd, and Pt were tested. The filament temperature was varied in the range of 400–2000 ℃ and pressures between 1.0–1.5 bar. Products were characterised by bulk elemental analysis and a laser granulometer. The powders were investigated by TG-DSC-MS under inert, O2, and H2O containing atmosphere, respectively, in a temperature range of 20–700 ℃. Hydrogen evolution occurred in three separate steps, depending on the applied gas atmosphere. The oxidation mechanism was explored by the characteristic OxSi-H bands (x = 0–3) observed in ex situ DRIFT experiments. The oxidation of hydrogen terminated silicon surfaces was investigated employing oxygen (O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), permanganate (MnO\(_{4}^{-}\)), or peroxodisulfate \(\left (\mathrm {S}_{2}\mathrm {O}_{8}^{2-}\right )\) in a temperature range of 0–120 ℃. The oxidation was stepwise and strongly enhanced after pretreatment by alkyl lithium salts or Grignard reagents.
