What is a metallloid?

A metalloid are the elements located on the "staircase" of the periodic table. They have properties of metals and nonmetals. They make for good semi-conductors. The most common is silicon, which is used in computers.


Why conductors are not used in photovoltaic cells?

Semi conductors are used, usually silicon doped with some other material, which produce a low dc voltage. That's just the physics of how it works.


Why you are using semi conductors instead of conductor in electrical devices?

The best property of a semi-conductor is that it doesn't always conduct. This allows you to make very small switches (called transistors) from them which can then be used to make much more complex devices such as the processor in your computer or phone.
