The team has also developed a method to passivate the submicron silicon structures with huge surface area to prevent the recombination loss by deposition of phosphosilicate glass followed by heat treatment. (sciencedaily.com)
«They have huge surface areas relative to the other additives we use, like talc, and the result is exceptional improvements in the properties of the plastics with only a fraction of the inorganic filler.» (wardsauto.com)
The architecture yields a huge surface area, adding to the transport properties, the researchers say. (sciencedaily.com)
