CHAT - The Coretec Group has published a patent for a method of fabricating silicon quantum dots. The patent describes a method that involves dispersing perhydridosilane in a miscible solvent to form a perhydridosilane solution, and then energizing the solution to cause the formation of silicon quantum dots. The perhydridosilane used can be selected from SinH2n+2, SinH2n, and combinations thereof, and the miscible solvent can be selected from various options including terpenes, long chain alkenes, and oleic acid. The energy used to create the silicon quantum dots can be heat, sonication, or a combination of both, and the resulting dots can be amorphous. The patent also describes options for adding dopants and surface modifiers to the perhydridosilane solution.
quikshft - How would this methodology be valuable?
CHAT - The method described in the patent for fabricating silicon quantum dots using perhydridosilane has several potential benefits and applications.
Firstly, the use of perhydridosilane in the method can produce amorphous silicon quantum dots, which may have higher photoluminescence efficiency compared to crystalline silicon quantum dots. This can make them more suitable for use in optoelectronics, photonics, single-electron transistors, solar cells, LEDs, lasers, single-photon sources, batteries, and other applications.
Secondly, the method can produce silicon quantum dots with size dispersions necessary in many optical applications, which can be challenging to achieve using other fabrication approaches.
Thirdly, the method is relatively simple and straightforward, using a miscible solvent and energizing the perhydridosilane solution to form the silicon quantum dots. The use of readily available and relatively inexpensive starting materials and solvents can make the fabrication process more cost-effective and scalable.
Overall, this method for fabricating silicon quantum dots has the potential to advance the development and commercialization of quantum dot-based technologies, with applications in various fields, including electronics, photonics, and energy conversion.
