Silicon(Si) Nanopowder Applications
- • Optical properties. As with many nanoparticles, silicon produces unexpected optical properties as a nanostructure, due to the confinement of
- electrons and quantum effects. This makes them of particular interest in fields ranging from simple aesthetic design work to solar energy research.
- As with many other nanopowders, silicon nanopowders have also been thoroughly researched for applications in biomedicine and biosensing.
- • Semiconductors. Due to additional quantum effects such as quantum confinement seen at the nanostructure size, silicon nanoparticles have seen
- intense research as a semiconductive material. Precision electronics manufacturing and production of unique alloys and slurries have made
- thorough use of silicon nanopowders already.
- • Solar Energy Cell. Due to its unique optical and conductive properties, silicon nanopowder serves as a key material in the production of various
- solar energy cells, including thin film solar cells and amorphous silicon solar cells. Continued research shows multiple avenues to improve the efficiency,
- efficacy, and cost of producing solar cells with these materials and other nanomaterials exhibiting similar optical properties.
- • Lithium-ion Battery. One of the most exciting applications of silicon nanoparticles, revealed by research a few years ago. Scientists utilizing silicon
- nanoparticles have produced lithium-ion batteries with extreme performance, as high as triple the energy storage potential of regular lithium-ion batteries.
- Research continues to seek ways to make the most of silicon nanostructures in energy storage.
- • Drug delivery. As drug delivery technology grows increasingly important to medicine, silver nanoparticles have seen heavy research as a potential tool
- for controlled drug delivery. The biocompatibility, biogradability, high surface area, controllable pore sizes, and optical properties of silicon nanoparticles
- combine to make them an excellent candidate for research.
