Silicon Nanoparticles Properties

Overview of Silicon Nanoparticles Nano Si Powder:

Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are biologically compatible, metal-free quantum dots that exhibit size and surface tailorable photoluminescence. Silicon nanoparticles are composed of pure amorphous nanosilicon dioxide. The particle diameter is less than 5 nanometers, and the particle range is narrow. Nano silicon powder is a new generation of optoelectronic semiconductor materials with wide-gapen energy semiconductors and a high-power light source material.

 

Si nanoparticles are known for being absorbent and abrasive, whereas mesoporous silicon nanoparticles have important applications in drug delivery and nanomedicine. Silicon nanoparticles have attracted great attention recently because of their intriguing physical properties, active surface state, distinctive photoluminescence, and biocompatibility.

 

How is Silicon Nanoparticles Nano Si Powder produced?

Some methods used to synthesize silicon nanoparticles are reverse microemulsion, flame synthesis, and widely used sol-gel. In a reverse microemulsion, surfactant molecules dissolved in an organic solvent form spherical micelles. In the presence of water, the polar head groups organize themselves to form water-containing microcavities, usually called reverse micelles.

 

When synthesizing si nanoparticles, adding silicon alkoxide and catalyst to the medium containing reverse micelles can be carefully controlled to make the nanoparticles grow in the microcavity. The main disadvantages of the reverse micro emulsification method are the high cost and difficulty of removing the surfactant in the final product.

 

Besides, by reacting 1 kg of sulphuric acid 3M with 190 g of Olivine at 90°C in a stirred reactor, 65 g of nano-silicon is produced. The features of the silicon produced are a specific surface area of 100-500 m²/g, a mean particle size of 5-20 nm, and a specific surface area in micropores of 20- 200 m²/g.

Application of Silicon Nanoparticles Nano Si Powder:

1. Lithium battery anode material

Silicon nanoparticles made of nano Si powder is used in the anode material of rechargeable lithium battery, or the surface of nano silicon powder is coated with graphite as the anode material of rechargeable lithium battery, which improves the electric capacity of a rechargeable lithium battery by more than 10 Capacity and several charge and discharge cycles.

2. Nano-silicon semiconductor light-emitting materials

Silicon/silicon oxide nanostructures designed on a silicon substrate, which can achieve photoluminescence and forward or reverse bias in all major wavelength bands (including 1.54 and 1.62µm) from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared Low threshold voltage electroluminescence.

3. Aluminum castable

Adding Si powder can significantly reduce the creep rate of high-aluminum casting castings in high-temperature furnaces, prevent cracks and spalling of the furnace lining due to shrinkage and creep, and improve service life. 

4. Tire cord fabric compound

Adding silicon nanoparticles to the tire cord fabric compound can increase the 300% constant tensile stress of vulcanizate, tensile properties, and tear strength, reduce Mooney viscosity, and reinforce the compound.

5. Coatings

Adding silicon nanoparticles to the coating system can improve the coating's anti-aging, scrub resistance, and anti-staining properties and extend the service life of the coating.

FAQs of Silicon Nanoparticles Nano Si Powder

 
Q: What are silicon nanoparticles used for?
A: The potential applications of silicon nanoparticles are wide and varied, including semiconductor production, integrated circuit substrates, non-volatile memory devices, high refractive index nanocomposites, and several biomedical applications.

Q: How to produce silicon nanoparticles?
A: Silicon nanoparticles can also be produced by reducing the liquid precursor silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4). Initially, Na was used as a reducing agent to produce silicon nanoparticles at high temperature and pressure.

Q: Is silicon rare on Earth?
A: Silicon makes up 27.7% of the earth's crust by mass, making it the second most abundant element (the first abundant element is oxygen). It is not unbound in nature, but exists mainly as oxides (silica) and silicates.

Q: What are 5 common uses for silicon?
A: High-purity silicon doped (injected) with elements such as boron, phosphorus, and arsenic is often referred to as silicon wafers, and is the basic material for computer chips, integrated circuits, transistors, silicon diodes, liquid crystal displays, and a variety of other electronic and switching devices.

Q: Is silicon a metal?
A: No. Silicon is classified as a metal-like because some of its properties are similar to those of metals and some are similar to those of non-metals.
