Photo-catalysts based on hybrid SiNW structures offer several outstanding advantages, such as high electrochemical stability, efficient electron-hole separation, flexible selection of semiconductors with desired band gaps for efficient visible light absorption, and thus have important applications for photo-catalytic degradation of environmental pollutants. In this thesis, we have successfully synthesized hybrid Bi2SiO5/Si nanowire and Cu2O/Si nanowire arrays by decorating the surfaces of silicon nanowires obtained by using the silver-assisted electroless wet chemical etching. The morphologies, microstructures and photo-catalytic performances of as-prepared samples were systematically studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The summary of this thesis is listed as follows: First of all, Silicon nanowire arrays were successfully synthesized by using metal-catalyzed chemical etching methods. Their morphologies and microstructures were systematically studied. It was found that the SiNWs are regularly arranged with diameters of 30-300 nm and length about 65 μm along the intrinsic [100] direction of the single crystalline silicon wafer. Bi2SiO5 modified silicon nanowire arrays were fabricated via dip-coating Bi(NO3)3 on silicon nanowires and subsequent annealing. It was found that the length, morphologies and microstructures of pristine silicon nanowires are not destructed during the process. We used the Bi2SiO5 modified silicon nanowire arrays as photo-catalysts for photo-catalytic degradation of
