Extraction and Synthesis of Silicon Nanoparticles (SiNPs) from Sugarcane Bagasse Ash: A Mini-Review

This current study reviews the utilization of traditional extraction methods and latest findings in silica from agricultural wastes, particular, sugarcane bagasse, using inorganic acids to produce nano-silicon. The three key processes discussed detail include electrochemical, ball milling, sol–gel processes. bagasse has been identified as cheapest source producing potential raw material for preparation acid-base precipitation methodology involves use bases like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) potassium (KOH), such hydrofluoric acid (HF), sulphuric (H2SO4), nitric (HNO3), hydrochloric (HCl) treatment ash. Sugarcane notably emerged an excellent sustainable both tailored particles bioenergy production. ability manipulate engineered at nano-level bagasse-based is explained detail. Silica a significant with various industrial applications, much research underway extract it efficiently agro-waste, bagasse. production highly pure silicon nanoparticles ash will serve important synthetic route lowering manufacturing costs providing low-cost polycrystalline semiconductor niche application thin film solar technology.
