The electrochemical lithiation of undoped, P-doped and B-doped nano-silicon particles has been studied during the first cycle by ex situ Li and Li MAS-NMR spectroscopy by Cattaneo et al. Samples were charged within pouch cells up to capacities followed by NMR analysis. Different crystalline phases occurred after higher capacitance was induced. Other effects including boron doping on the silicon nano-particles was also examined. ...

These spherical nano-particles about 55 nm in diameter have a fluorescent material of ruthenium pyridine inside, and the shell of silicon dioxide, as shown in Fig. 36. The excitation wavelength of the ruthenium pyridine is 480 nm and the emission wavelength is 592 nm [81]. In order to get a clear image of nano-particles, the mass concentration of the fluorescent particles should be limited to a very low level. 

Therefore, the samples are prepared by mixing fluorescent particles solution and silicon dioxide nano-particles solution as shown in Table 1.

The newest addition to the forms of elemental carbon is the nanotube. A carbon nanotube is a long cylinder of carbon atoms, connected together in much the same way as in a fullerene. Both the diameter and the length of carbon nano-tubes can vary. Properties of nanotubes, such as their ability to conduct electrical charge, change dramatically with the dimensions of the tube. Carbon nanotubes are under intensive study. For example, a carbon nanotube laid down on a silicon chip forms a molecular transistor. Such devices may eventually lead to further miniaturization of the chips that are at the heart of modem computers. 

Si-C formation technique with hydrogen-terminated silicon substrates can also be used as the covalent attachment of nanomaterials onto silicon surface. The possibility of assembling nanomaterials in order is strongly desired in order to enable efficient utilization of their unique nano-sized properties. Ordered arranging and position controlling of nanomaterials on solid substrates especially on silicon surface have been intensively studied [10]. In this manuscript, the nanoparticle immobilization by thermal Si-C formation will be discussed [11].

The most widely applied commercial nano filtration membrane is the MPF series of Koch Int.[19] (Figure 4.9). The series contains polymeric silicon-derived membranes in the MWCO range of 400-700 Da. [20] The membranes are supplied in a 50% ethanol / water mixture, and should under no circumstances be allowed to dry out. Before use, the membranes must be conditioned with the solvent of choice.
