 High purity, large surface area, small particle size and low density are some of the factors that make the nanoparticles made out of silicon the ultimate active surfactant. Other amazing features of Si nanoparticles are that they are odorless, non toxic and hold active features. This is the reason why they have found their usage in high power light source and semiconductors.

Properties and Making of Silicon Nanoparticles

The typical size of such Si particles is about 5 to 25nm with surface area ranging from 30-70 m 2/g, each particle is 80-100 nm in size and thus is considered to be one of the finest innovations of the nano technology. These particles are available in high purity state, ultra high pure state and carbon coated or dispersed form state. Some silicon nanoparticles suppliers even offer these particles as nanofluid (particles suspended in a saturated solution).

There are numerous properties of these Silicon nanoparticles. The first is that, this particle reacts with organic matter and works best as a raw material in the making of silicon polymer. With the help of productive purification system, the Si nanoparticles can even be used to get polysilicon. Other than that, these particles are even effective for treating metals.

Si nanoparticles are great as a cathode alternative for lithium batteries, as they drastically improve its capacity and enhance its performance.These nanoparticles are even used in microelectronics for the making of remarkable circuit units like the NEMS and MEMS, as these are photonic material that facilitate in better functioning of the unit.
