Abstract

Silicon electrodeposited on a dense, pyrolytic carbon, and on a graphite with 22% porosity are compared. Deposits with strongly developed <111> texture and apparently free from voids and inclusions can be made on both substrate materials. Deposits on vertical surfaces are normally free from inclusions and voids, in contrast to those on horizontal surfaces, even when the cathode is rotated.
