A thermal approach to silicon nanoparticles fabrication

Silicon si nanparticles have been synthesized by the reaction between SiO and magnesium powdr. A high temperture furnace has been used for the reduction of SiO. Si nanoparticels prepared by this method was separated from the byproducts by washing with HCI and HF. characteistices nanoparticle formed were carried out usning X-ray diffractometer XRDand field emission scanning electron microscope FESEM the result shows that the mean size of si particles was about 20 nm. this innovative mehtod can be used for large scale synthesis of si nanoparticels.
