Claim 0:
1. A process comprising:
providing a plurality of silicon nanocrystals having an average particle diameter to an amorphization unit adapted to triturate solids to about the average particle diameter, and where the silicon nanocrystals have a percent crystallinity that is greater than about 60%; thereafter
processing the plurality of silicon nanocrystals with the amorphization unit thereby forming a plurality of amorphous silicon nanoparticles, where the amorphous silicon nanoparticles have about the same average particle diameter as the silicon nanocrystals, and where the amorphous silicon nanoparticles have a percent crystallinity that is less than about 50%.
