Large-scale: Synthesis, microstructure, and FT-IR property of SiC nanowires

Large-scale SiC nanowires have been synthesized via reacting silicon powder with carbon powder using Ni 2O 3 as catalyst by simple chemical vapor deposition method. The mixed powders were heated in an alumina horizontal tube furnace up to 1350 °C for 1 h in an argon atmosphere. Characterization by s...

Description
Summary:Large-scale SiC nanowires have been synthesized via reacting silicon powder with carbon powder using Ni 2O 3 as catalyst by simple chemical vapor deposition method. The mixed powders were heated in an alumina horizontal tube furnace up to 1350 °C for 1 h in an argon atmosphere. Characterization by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffractometer indicated that the nanowires covered with a thin layer of amorphous SiO x. The 3C-SiC nanowires were formed by vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism and they have diameters of about 20-90 nm. The result of FT-IR spectrum shows the nanowires were composed of SiC and amorphous of silicon oxide. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
