ABSTRACT |
An immiscible Si/Sn (=7/3 by volume) powder mixture was subjected to simple grinding and subsequent leaching process to give Sn nanopowder reinforced or dispersed in Si powder. Crystallite and their agglomerates of Si were ca. 15 nm and 100 nm, respectively. Sn remained at 4.5 vol% in Si powder after aqueous HCl leaching, dispersively occluded in Si matrix as confirmed by ICP analysis and cross sectional TEM observation. |
