Silicon nanoparticles can be used in a wide spectrum of future energy applications, from solar cells and lithium-ion batteries to solar water splitting and thermoelectrics. In the cover article of Plasma Processes and Polymers, DIFFER's Ilker Dogan and Richard van de Sanden give an overview of different ways to produce silicon nanoparticles in a plasma and tailor their properties. This can lead to large-scale production of silicon nanoparticles for energy devices.
