Silicon Nanoparticle Formation From Silicon Powder and Hexacholorplatinic Acid

摘要

A silicon nanoparticle formation method that can rapidly produce substantial quantities of silicon nanoparticles, which are readily recoverable for subsequent uses. Methods of the invention treat silicon powder in hexachloroplatinic acid. The treated silicon powder is then etched with an etching solution of HF/H2O2 to form Si nanoparticles
