schottky diodes has a high power withstanding capactiy than that of normal diodes. however it is used with low power for higher efficiency
The cat's-whisker detectors used in the early days of wireless and metal rectifiers used in early power applications can be considered primitive Schottky diodes.
The reasons to use Schottky over normal P-N junction diode are typically for speed or lower forward voltage. These characteristics could translate into different benefits. In switching regulator as an example, the lower forward may mean higher efficiency.
