Wiring photoelectrodes : Vertically aligned silicon nanowires were chemically synthesized and tested for solar‐energy harnessing. Growth experiments reveal that such nanowire arrays can be obtained when the growth is slow. Photoelectrochemical studies validate that silicon nanowires are promising candidates for efficient solar cells.
