Systematic experimental and theoretical studies of the hydrolysis of silicon nanomembranes at near‐neutral pH conditions reveal the roles of anion concentration and temperature. An empirical model captures the dependence of the dissolution rates on key factors, and atomic‐level simulations provide insights into the underlying chemistry.
