چکیده
Abstract In this work, we measured the I-V characteristics of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) extracted from Pleurosira laevis diatom and deposited on top a p-type Si(111) wafer. The electric response SNPs-based diode is found to be more sensitive thermal optical power than fresh frustules-based by about 3 5 times, respectively. Moreover, chemically processed SNPs exhibit better parameters, i.e. for them ideality factor closer 1, series resistance times lower, shunt 4 higher those frustules silica. It stimulating use in innovative electronic optoelectronic applications as an abundant, cheap, easy-to-process material.

Silicon diatom frustules as nanostructured photoelectrodes.
In the quest for solutions to meeting future energy demands, solar fuels play an important role. A particularly promising example is photocatalysis since even incremental improvements in performance in this process are bound to translate into significant cost benefits. Here, we report that semiconducting and high surface area 3D silicon replicas prepared from abundantly available diatom fossils...
متن کاملThe role of aggregation for the dissolution of diatom frustules.
Observations that the majority of silica dissolution occurs within the upper 200 m of the ocean, and that sedimentation rates of diatom frustules generally do not decrease significantly with depth, suggested reduced dissolution rates of diatoms embedded within sinking aggregates. To investigate this hypothesis, silica dissolution rates of aggregated diatom cells were compared to those of disper...
