“…Such SiC whiskers have shown exceptional properties, such as chemical inertness, large band gaps, and good thermal conductivity, thus they are used extensively in various applications. − Because of the nature of single crystals, the strength of SiC whiskers is almost equal to their theoretical values, which has allowed them to be widely used in the field of structure application . In recent years, studies on the preparation of SiC whiskers through vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) and vapor–solid (VS) mechanisms have received much attention. , The main methods include carbothermal reduction of SiO 2 , direct reaction of silicon and carbon, sublimation recrystallization of silicon carbide, electrospinning, reaction of silicon-containing compounds with carbon nanotubes, , chemical vapor deposition, pyrolysis of organosilicon compounds, and reaction between silicon and hydrocarbon. , However, the above-mentioned methods are time-consuming or costly.…”
