ABSTRACT:
Silicon nanosponge particles prepared from a metallurgical grade silicon powder having an initial particle size ranging from about 1 micron to about 4 microns is presented. Each silicon nanosponge particle has a structure comprising a plurality of nanocrystals with pores disposed between the nanocrystals and throughout the entire nanosponge particle.
