Observing single nanoparticle collisions at ultramicroelectrodes
Technology description Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been of interest in many fields, often because of their large surface-to-volume ratio and size dependent optical properties. Most research on NPs has focused on ensemble-averaged properties, but there have been investigations of the electrochemical behavior of an immobilized single NP, despite the...

Electrochemical production of solar-grade silicon films from SiO2
Background Silicon thin films are an important limitation for solar photovoltaic cells. Currently, manufacturing of these films are from single crystal silicon and a large amount of raw material is wasted. Single crystal silicon is not a cheap commodity. Thus, the sawing process used on single crystal silicon is costly not only from a manufacturing...
