according to Texas Instruments it is a good practice to use multiple schottky diodes in parallel.

Schottky Diode
Schottky
Schottky diodes are often used for RF radio frequency applications as a mixer or detector diode. Another common application for the Schottky diode is in power applications as a rectifier.

No, cos if u add water to them, they will actually blow up!
Low power Schottky refers to a specific type of Schottky diode designed to operate efficiently at low voltage and current levels. Schottky diodes are known for their fast switching speeds and low forward voltage drop, making them ideal for applications like rectification in power supplies and signal detection. The "low power" designation indicates that these diodes are optimized for circuits where minimal power consumption and heat generation are critical.
Schottky devices virtually eliminate the reverse recovery charge that is present in standard diodes. This characteristic allows them to switch on and off much more rapidly, as there is no delay caused by charge carrier recombination. Consequently, Schottky diodes achieve high switching speeds, making them ideal for high-frequency applications in power electronics.
Difference between Schottky Barrier Diode and P-N Junction Diode is as following...Schottky Diode1) Usually using the aluminum metal which is trivalent element. 2) Depletion layer is thinner than the p-n junction diode.3) Forward threshold voltage is smaller than p-n junction diode(0.1V).4) The junction capacitance is lower than p-n junction diode.P-N Junction Diode1) Trivalent impurity is added to the pure silicon structure. 2) Depletion layer is wider than Schottky diode.3) Forward threshold voltage is higher than Schottky diode(0.6V)4) The junction capacitance is higher than Schottky diode.
To test Schottky barrier diodes with a multimeter, first set the multimeter to the diode testing mode. Connect the positive lead to the anode and the negative lead to the cathode; a healthy Schottky diode should show a forward voltage drop typically between 0.2V to 0.4V. Reverse the leads; a good diode should show no reading (infinity or open circuit). If you observe a low forward voltage drop in reverse bias or a short circuit, the diode is likely faulty.
