Abstract
Cost-effective, clean and safe solar energy production is envisaged to solve or at least mitigate climate change problems originated from the current carbon-based power sources addressing both environmental concerns as well as energy needs. Liquid-phase processing of thin films from nanoparticles – as not requiring high temperatures and vacuum – is the optimal strategy towards cost-effective, light weight, flexible and large-area devices. Silicon nanoparticles are in particular important owing to the abundance, chemical stability and low toxicity of this material. This contribution is aimed to highlight the research progresses on free-standing silicon nanoparticles (≤ 50 nm); synthesis, modification and processing towards photovoltaic applications.
