Mechanochemical synthesis of amorphous silicon nanoparticles

Silicon nanoparticles have been synthesised using mechanochemical ball milling and an inert salt buffer to limit the growth and control the size of the Si particles produced. The solid-liquid metathesis reaction used silicon tetrachloride and lithium with LiCl as the buffer to generate Si nanopartic...
