Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods of fabricating a porous structure, such as a porous silicon carbide structure. The methods can include a step of providing a structure to be rendered porous, and a step of providing an etching solution. The methods can also include a step of electrochemically etching the structure to produce pores through at least a region of the structure, resulting in the formation of a porous structure. The morphology of the porous structure can be controlled by one or more parameters of the electrochemical etching process, such as the strength of the etching solution and/or the applied voltage.
