Synthesis Strategies for Si-Based Advanced Materials and Their Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook on Synthesis Strategies for Advanced Materials

Part of the book series: Indian Institute of Metals Series ((IIMS))

Abstract

Silicon compounds are very important owing to their stability, non-toxicity, and high natural abundance of silica in earth crust. These materials have been studied for more than a century, and a vast literature on their synthesis and application is available. These are utilized in various forms in organometallics, polymers, material science, and microelectronics, and have immense potential for their application in organic and hybrid electronic devices. Thus, a comprehensive review on synthesis, processing, and potential applications of silicon-based materials was a need of the time. In this chapter, the synthesis of silane, methods of extracting elemental silicon, and their use in the growth of single crystals are discussed. In addition, synthesis strategies of various silicon compounds which include organosilane, silicone, polysilane, and silicene are described and their applications are discussed.
