Silicon nanoparticle, typically when in the quantum dot region of less than 10nm, demonstrated unique properties in optical, electrical as well as catalytic properties. The Silicon nanoparticle has been proposed as a potential photocatalyst due to its relatively small band gap. It allows excitation...
