Wet-etched mesoporous silicon is normally dried in air, but this limits the range of porosities and surface areas achievable, due to capillary force-induced collapse of the silicon skeleton. The various alternative drying techniques are reviewed with particular attention paid to supercritical drying, a powerful technique applicable to all physical forms of porous silicon.
