Granular polycrystalline silicon includes a compact matrix including radiating acicular crystal aggregates of crystal size from 0.001-200 μm. A process for producing granular polycrystalline silicon includes producing granular silicon in a fluidized bed reactor from a gas mixture containing TCS (20-29 mol %) and hydrogen at a fluidized bed temperature of 900-970° C., dividing the granular silicon in a screen system having at least one screen deck into at least two screen fractions, the smallest screen fraction being ground in a grinding system to give seed particles having a size of 100-1500 μm and a mass-based median value from 400 to 900 μm, and these seed particles being supplied to fluidized bed reactor, and a further screen fraction being supplied to a fluidized bed reactor, and being surface-treated with a gas mixture containing TCS (5.1-10 mol %) and hydrogen at a fluidized bed temperature of 870-990° C.

Abstract:
A method for making the metal oxide includes the following steps: mixing a metal nitrate with a solvent of octadecyl amine, and achieving a mixture; agitating and reacting the mixture at a reaction temperature for a reaction period; cooling the mixture to a cooling temperature, and achieving a deposit; and washing the deposit with an organic solvent, drying the deposit at a drying temperature and achieving a metal oxide nanocrystal. The present method for making a metal oxide nanocrystal is economical and timesaving, and has a low toxicity associated therewith. Thus, the method is suitable for industrial mass production. The metal oxide nanocrystal material made by the present method has a readily controllable size, a narrow size distribution, and good crystallinity.
