چکیده

Silicon carbide nanowires have been synthesized at 1400 degrees C by carbothermic reduction of silica with bamboo carbon under normal atmosphere pressure without metallic catalyst. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the silicon carbide nanowires. The results show that the silicon carbide nanowires have a core-shell structure and grow along <111> direction. The diameter of silicon carbide nanowires is about 50-200 nm and the length from tens to hundreds of micrometers. The vapor-solid mechanism is proposed to elucidate the growth process. The photoluminescence of the synthesized silicon carbide nanowires shows significant blueshifts, which is resulted from the existence of oxygen defects in amorphous layer and the special rough core-shell interface.

Synthesis of silicon carbide using concentrated solar energy

Silicon carbide (SiC) has been prepared successfully using concentrated solar energy provided by the IER-UNAM solar furnace. This has led to the development of a low CO2 emissions process for the production of this material via carbothermic reduction of a silica/carbon (SiO2/C) nanocomposite, which has shown a more reactive carbon for formation of composite, being more thermally stable. Silica ...

Side-by-side silicon carbide–silica biaxial nanowires: Synthesis, structure, and mechanical properties

Elevated-temperature synthesis has been used to generate side-by-side biaxially structured silicon carbide–silica nanowires. The axial growth direction approaches @311# for nanowires with a high density of microtwins and is @211# for defect-free nanowires. The structure of these nanowires, their cross-sectional shape, and their structural transformation between a biaxial and coaxial configurati...

Synthesis and characterization of silicon carbide, silicon oxynitride and silicon nitride nanowires

Several methods have been employed to synthesize SiC nanowires. The methods include heating silica gel or fumed silica with activated carbon in a reducing atmosphere, the carbon particles being produced in situ in one of the methods. The simplest method to obtain b-SiC nanowires involves heating silica gel with activated carbon at 1360 uC in H2 or NH3. The same reaction, if carried out in the p...
