Si-based core–shell nanowires were grown on Ni-coated crystal silicon substrates using a hot-wire chemical vapor deposition technique. The NiSi nanoparticles acted as catalysts that facilitated the growth of the core–shell nanowires without any hydrogen dilution as well as that ranging from 20 to 99...
